PRELIMINARY  NOTICE 


The  Presbyterian  Board  of  Publication  went  into  operation 
A.  D.  1838.  It  has  now  published  over  twelve  hundred  works, 
including  bound  volumes,  tracts,  and  pamphlets. 

The  works  enumerated  in  the  following  Catalogue  are  of 
every  variety,  from  the  most  profound  treatises  in  theology, 
to  the  simplest  child's  hymn  book  and  catechism.  Many  of 
them  are  of  the  highest  value  to  theological  students  and 
ministers,  and  until  issued  by  the  Board,  had  never  been  re- 
published in  this  country,  and  could  of  course  only  be  had  by 
importation,  and  at  such  prices  as  placed  them  beyond  the 
reach  of  students  and  ministers  of  limited  means. 

Many  of  the  books  are  designed,  to  enlighten  and  es- 
tablish Presbyterians,  more  especially  in  the  peculiarities  of 
their  own  doctrines  and  polity.  Where  are  to  be  found  works 
better  suited  to  this  purpose,  than  Calvin's  Institutes,  Fisher's 
Catechism,  Lime  Street  Lectures,  Dickinson  on  the  Five 
Points,  The  Great  Supper,  Matthews  on  the  Divine  Purpose, 
Miller  on  Public  Prayer,  Shaw's  Exposition  of  the  Confession 
of  Faith,  Green's  Lectures  on  the  Shorter  Catechism,  Hodge's 
History  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  &c.,  &c.  ? 

The  various  expository  works  and  Biblical  helps  presented 

in  this  Catalogue  are  of  incalculable  value.     It  also  contains  a

PRELIMINARY   NOTICE. 


rich  assortment  of  practical  books.  The  Life  of  McCheyne  has 
been  thought,  by  some,  to  rank  with  those  of  Martyn  and 
Brainerd ;  and  surely  it  would  be  difficult  to  find  a  biography 
in  which  there  is  more  of  a  sweet  and  spirit-cheering  piety. 
Many  of  the  other  publications  of  the  Board  in  this  de- 
partment are  little  inferior  to  it  in  literary  character  and  prac- 
tical value.  Alexander's  Religious  Experience  has  been  read 
with  pleasure  and  profit  by  all  denominations ;  while  by  his 
Practical  Sermons,  he,  being  dead,  still  continues  to  preach 
in  many  a  social  meeting,  and  to  teach  by  many  a  fireside. 
Among  the  recent  issues  of  the  Board,  we  may  mention  Leigh- 
ton  on  Peter,  Lathrop  on  Ephesians,  Davies'  Sermons,  Plum- 
er's  Law  of  Grod,  Brown  on  the  Gospels,  the  Commentaries 
of  Drs.  Jacobus,  Hodge,  and  Addison  Alexander,  without 
which  no  ministerial  or  congregational  library  can  be  considered 
complete,  and  which  are  valuable  alike  for  the  devotional 
reading  or  critical  study  of  the  Holy  Scriptures.  The  Com- 
municant's Companion,  and  Communicant's  Manual,  are  un- 
surpassed in  their  adaptation  to  aid  the  people  of  God  in  their 
preparation  for  the  sacramental  table.  Alexander's  Family 
Worship  is  incomparably  the  best  book  in  this  important  de- 
partment on  family  religion  extant ;  and  as  for  Alleine's  Alarm, 
Baxter's  Call  and  Saint's  Rest,  Bunyan's  Pilgrim's  Progress, 
and  Holy  War,  Boston's  Fourfold  State,  Doddridge's  Rise  and 
Progress, — what  need  is  there  to  speak  of  their  adaptation  to 
alarm  the  careless,  to  call  the  unconverted  to  repentance,  to 
explain  the  origin  and  progress  of  true  religion  in  the  soul,  to 
instruct  the  pilgrim  warrior  in  his  journeyings  and  conflicts, 
and  to  point  him  to  his  everlasting  rest? 

The  Board  has  also  been  particularly  attentive  to  the  wants 
of  our  frontier  settlements,  of  the  thousands  of  immigrants 
that  are  annually  thrown  upon  our  shores,  of  the  poor  and 


PRELIMINARY    NOTICE. 


neglected  in  our  cities,  of  our  sailors  on  merchant  vessels  and 
ships  of  war,  and  of  our  soldiers  in  the  camp  and  hospital. 
Hundreds  of  thousands  of  the  Soldier's  Pocket  Book,  the 
Grood  Soldier,  and  others  of  its  issues  have  been  distributed 
in  the  camp,  and  field,  and  hospital ;  and  eternity  alone  will  dis- 
close the  good  that  has  been  accomplished  through  their 
instrumentality. 

Nor  have  the  children,  the  hope  of  the  church,  been  for- 
gotten. Not  less  than  four  hundred  books  adapted  to  their 
wants  have  been  issued.  The  Board  have  specially  endeav- 
ored to  guard  against  such  works  as  would  tend  to  vitiate  the 
taste ;  and  also  to  afford  such  instruction,  as  that  the  children 
should  not  only  be  trained  up  as  Christians,  but  also  as  Pres- 
byterians. We  can  say  with  confidence  that  the  literary  and 
religious  character  of  our  Sabbath- school  books,  is  unsur- 
passed by  the  publications  of  any  kindred  institution ;  while 
nowhere  else  can  there  be  found  works  so  fully  meeting  our 
denominational  necessities  in  the  religious  training  of  our  chil- 
dren. 

This  Board  is  doing  a  work  for  the  Presbyterian  Church 
which  can  be  done  by  no  other  institution.  Societies  of  a 
general  character  are,  from  their  very  nature,  prohibited  from 
publishing  anything  which  wears  a  denominational  com- 
plexion. In  this  day,  when  error  in  every  guise  is  so  rife, 
and  untiring  efforts  are  made  to  proselyte  from  their  faith, 
especially  the  young  of  our  Zion,  there  is  an  imperative  ne- 
cessity that  our  people  should  better  understand  the  doctrines, 
history,  government,  and  ordinances  of  the  Church,  within 
whose  pale  their  lot  is  cast.  The  general  circulation  of  the 
publications  of  the  Board  will,  with  the  blessing  of  God  upon 
their  perusal,  do  much  to  accomplish  this  great  object.

RECOMMENDATIONS  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 

The  following  action  was  taken  at  the  General  Assembly  held  in  Cin- 
cinnati, in  1850,  in  regard  to  the  "  Home  and  Foreign  Record." 

Resolved,  As  the  action  of  the  last  General  Assembly  has  resulted  in 
the  establishment  of  the  "  Home  and  Foreign  Record,"  that  paper  is 
hereby  recommended,  and  the  ministers  and  churches  are  urged  to  exert 
themselves  to  place  it  in  every  family,  as  the  organ,  indirectly,  of  the 
church,  on  many  important  subjects. 

The  Assembly  held  in  Philadelphia,  1853, 

Resolved,  That  it  be  recommended  to  all  our  pastors  to  endeavour  to 
increase  the  circulation  of  the  "  Home  and  Foreign  Record,"  the  organ 
of  the  Boards  of  the  church,  in  order  that  our  churches  may  be  better 
acquainted  with  their  respective  plans  and  operations,  and  be  induced 
to  contribute  more  liberally  towards  their  support. 

The  Assembly  held  at  Nashville,  Tennessee,  in  1855, 

Resolved,  That  our  ministers  and  elders  be  earnestly  exhorted  to  secure 
a  wider  circulation  to  the  "  Home  and  Foreign  Record,"  now  published 
at  so  reduced  a  price  as  to  make  it  accessible  to  the  poorest  members  of 
our  church. 

And  the  Assembly  held  at  Indianapolis,  Indiana,  in  1859, 

Resolved,  That  the  Assembly  would  especially  commend  the  "  Home 
and  Foreign  Record  "  to  a  more  general  patronage  throughout  the  church; 
trusting  that  in  its  diligent  perusal,  members  of  the  communion  might 
catch  more  of  the  spirit  of  missions  and  of  Christian  benevolence  so 
richly  pervading  its  columns.  They  also  recommend  "  The  Sabbath- 
School  Visitor"  as  a  most  excellent  publication  to  be  circulated  through 
our  Sabbath-schools  and  among  the  children  of  our  charge. — Minutes, 
p.  545.

DESCRIPTIVE  CATALOGUE. 


In  this  catalogue,  the  publications  of  the  Board  are  classified  accord- 
ing, to  their  suitableness  for  a  Mim'sto-ial,  Congre(jational,  or  Sabbath- 
school  Library.  This  classification  is  marked  at  the  end  of  the  full 
titles. 

It  is  difficult  to  draw  the  exact  line  of  distinction  in  every  case,  some 
books  in  one  library  being  equally  suitable  for  another.  Purchasers 
can,  with  advantage,  make  their  own  selection,  adding  or  omitting  as 
they  please.

This  little  book  has  imparted  consolation  to  many  an  afflicted  child  of 
God.  Its  author  was  a  Puritan  minister  who  died  in  1680.  His 
numerous  works  are  in  that  homely,  quaint,  sparkling  style,  full  of 
every-day  comparisons  and  choice  Scriptures,  which  delighted  our 
ancestors,  and  amidst  every  literary  revolution  still  delight  the  com- 
mon mind.

Great  Concern.  no.  3. 

The  Great  Concern  of  Salvation.     By  Rev.  Thomas

18mo.  {Cong.  Lih.)

Christian  should  employ  in  examining  into  the  state  of  his  soul. 
(See  No.  344.)

PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  99 

This  book  forms  a  chai-ming  persuasive  to  piety,  and  may  with  profit 
be  read  by  old  and  young.

of  France  and  Italy ;  containing  Memoirs  of  some  of  the 

sufferers.     18mo.  (>S^.  S.  Lib.) 

This  is  an  interesting  memorial  of  the  sufiFerings  of  some  of  the  pious 
Protestants  of  France,  under  the  cruel  persecutions  of  the  Church  of 
Rome.

addressed  particularly  to  candidates  for  the  ministry.  By 
the  Rev.  Samuel  Miller,  D.D.     18mo.  {3Im.  Lib.) 

Although  this  treatise  is  designed  more  particularly  for  candidates  for 
the  ministry,  all  may  read  it  with  profit,  who  wish  to  see  a  condensed 
argument  in  favour  of  creeds,  and  a  satisfactory  reply  to  the  usual 
objections  urged  against  such  formularies. 

Life  of  Knox.  no.  10. 

Life  of  John  Knox,  the  Scottish  Reformer.  18mo. 
{S.  S.  Lib.) 

This  is  an  abridgment  of  the  larger  work  of  McCrie.  (See  No.  178.) 
No  Presbyterian  should  be  ignorant  of  the  incidents  in  the  life  of 
such  a  man  as  Knox.  The  time  in  which  he  lived ;  the  stirring  scenes 
through  which  he  passed  ,•  the  grace  and  courage  with  which  he  was 
endowed  ;  and  the  remarkable  success  attending  his  work  of  reform,  all 
point  him  out  as  a  remarkable  instrument  in  the  hand  of  God,  in  build- 
ing up  his  cause  in  our  world.

100  CATALOGUE    OF    THE 

his  missionary  voyage  to  tlie  South  Seas,  and  his  peace- 
ful death.     18mo.    {S.  S.  Uh.) 

The  perils  through  which  Captain  Wilson  passed  ;  the  sufferings  he  en- 
dured ;  his  remarkable  conversion ;  his  entire  devotion  to  the  cause 
of  God,  especially  in  the  work  of  missions,  all  tend  to  impart  intense 
interest  to  this  narrative.  In  the  midst  of  very  striking  incidents,  it 
contains  an  easy  and  satisfactory  defence  of  some  Calvinistio  tenets, 
which  are  commonly  impugned. 

Anxious  Inquirer.  no.  12. 

Letters  to  an  Anxious  Inquirer,  designed  to  relieve  the 
difficulties  of  a  friend  under  serious  impressions.  By  the 
Rev.  T.  Charlton  Henry,  D.D.,  with  a  Biographical 
sketch  and  portrait  of  the  author.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  is  a  valuable  help  to  persons  whose  inquiry  is,  "What  must  we  do 
to  be  saved  ?"  Many  are  awakened,  who  eventually  relapse  into  in- 
difference, and  this  unhappy  result  is  often  attributable  to  injudicious 
counsel.  Although  the  peculiarities  of  all  cases  of  serious  concern 
cannot  be  embraced  in  a  work  of  this  kind,  yet  we  have  no  doubt, 
that  all  anxious  inquirers  may  find  much  in  these  letters  to  suit  their 
case. 

Threefojd  Cord,  no.  13. 

A  Threefold  Cord ;  or  a  Precept,  Promise,  and  Prayer 
from  the  Holy  Scripture  for  every  day  in  the  year.  32mo. 
-       {S.S.Lib.) 

This  is  a  neat  pocket  volume,  and  may  be  useful  not  only  for  daily  ref- 
erence, but  as  affording  a  daily  exercise  for  the  memory  of  young 
persons.  (See  Nos.  314  and  315.) 

Reformed  Pastor.  no.  14. 

The  Duties  and  Responsibilities  of  the  Pastoral  Office. 
Being  an  abridgment  of  the  Reformed  Pastor,  by  the , 
Rev.  Richard  Baxter.    18mo.  [Min.  Lib.) 


PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  101 

The  Reformed  Pastor,  by  Baxter,  has  always  been  regarded  as  an  in- 
estimable vade  mectim  for  clergymen.  In  its  original  form  it  is  too 
diflFuse  and  voluminous,  and  it  is  believed,  that  the  abridgment  in  the 
present  edition,  instead  of  injuring,  will  greatly  promote  its  useful- 
ness. We  do  not  exaggerate,  when  we  say,  that  it  is  inimitable  for  its 
pungent  appeals  to  conscience  and  its  useful  directions,  and  should  not 
only  be  read,  but  read  frequently,  by  all  who  bear  the  pastoral  office. 

Offices  of  Christ.  no.  15. 

The  Offices  of  Christ,  abridged  from  the  original  work 
of  the  Rev.  George  Stevenson,  by  the  Rev.  William 
S.  Plumer,  D.D.     18mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

Mr.  Stevenson  has  treated  this  important  subject  with  much  ability, 
and  the  abridgment,  which  does  not  interfere  with  the  language  of 
the  author,  preserves  the  substance  and  spirit  of  the  original  work. 

Divine  Purpose.  no.  le. 

The  Divine  Purpose,  displayed  in  the  works  of  Provi- 
dence and  Grace.  In  a  series  of  twenty  letters  addressed 
to  an  inquiring  Friend.  By  the  Rev.  John  Matthews, 
D.D.     18mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

These  letters  by  the  late  venerable  Dr.  Matthews,  of  Indiana,  have  passed 
through  several  editions.  They  illustrate  the  doctrine  of  the  divine 
decrees  in  the  most  pleasing  and  forcible  manner.  (See  No.  216.) 

Presbyterianism  and  Baptism.  no.  n. 

Presbyterianism  the  Truly  Primitive  and  Apostolical 
Constitution  of  the  Church  of  Christ ;  and  Infant  Baptism 
Scriptural  and  Reasonable,  and  Baptism  by  Sprinkling  or 
Affusion  the  most  suitable  and  edifying  mode.  By  the 
Rev.  Samuel  Miller,  D.D.     12mo.  {Min.  Lib.) 

As  tracts,  these  excellent  treatises  have  been  extensively  read ;  they  are 
now  bound  in  a  handsome  volume.

102  CATALOGUE   OF   THE 

Spirit  of  Prayer.  No.  is. 

The  Spirit  of  Prayer.   By  the  Rev.  N.  Vincent,  32mo. 

[Cong.  Lib.) 

This  may  safely  be  pronounced  to  be  an  admirable  treatise  on  Prayer, 
•which,  although  bearing  some  of  the  traces  of  an  old-fashioned  style, 
is  full  of  the  most  impressive  and  instructive  matter.  Its  author  died 
in  1697.  He  was  a  popular  minister,  who  sometimes  preached  when 
muskets  were  presented  at  him,  and  was  sometimes  pulled  out  of  the 
pulpit  by  his  hair.  The  account  of  his  trials,  imprisonment  and  other 
Bufferings  would  fill  many  pages. 

Confession  of  Faith.  no.  20. 

The  Constitution  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 

United  States  of  America,  containing  the  Confession  of 

Faith,  the  Catechisms,  and  the  Directory  for  the  "Worship 

of  God ;  together  with  the  Plan  of  Government  and  Dis- 

cipHne.     18mo. 

This  is  a  new  stereotype  edition,  and  has  been  carefully  revised ;  the 
Scripture  references  have  been  put  in  larger  type,  and  the  amended 
rules  have  been  added.     It  is  both  a  correct  and  cheap  edition. 

Guide  to  Communicants.  No.  21. 

A  Guide  to  Christian  Communicants,  in  the  exercise 

of  Self-examination.  By  the  Rev.  William  Trail.  32mo. 

[Cong.  Lib.) 

The  works  of  Trail  were  greatly  prized  by  our  forefathers,  for  their 
plainness,  faithfulness  and  spirituality.  The  Christian  who  will 
faithfully  apply  the  rules  here  recommended  for  self-examination  will 
soon  be  able  to  converse  with  his  own  soul,  and  to  ascertain  its  true 
state. 

Friendly  Visit.  no.  22. 

A  Friendly  Visit  to  the  House  of  Mourning ;  by  the 
Kev.  Richard  Cecil.     32mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 


PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD   OF   PUBLICATION.  103 

Cecil  is  a  charming  writer.  This  treatise  from  his  pen  may  be  applied  as 
a  healing  balm  to  the  afflicted  heart. 

Charnock  on  Regeneration.  No.  23. 

Discourses  on  Regeneration,  abridged.  By  the  Be  v. 
Stephen  Charnock.    12mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

It  is  unnecessary  to  recommend  anything  from  Charnock.  His  copious 
citation  of  Scripture,  exuberant  metaphor,  brisk  antithesis,  and  safe 
theology,  made  him  a  great  favorite  in  old  Presbyterian  families. 
These  discourses,  like  all  his  works,  are  Scriptural,  discriminating 
and  highly  instructive. 

Love  to  Christ.  no.  24. 

Love  to  Christ,  chiefly  extracted  from  the  "True 
Christian's  love  of  the  unseen  Christ."  By  Thojmas 
Vincent.     32mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

The  Christian  and  unbeliever  will  find  in  ihis  book  the  most  pathetic 
and  forcible  appeals  to  stir  up,  in  their  souls,  true  love  to  the  Saviour. 

Life  of  Maj.  Gen.  Burn.  No.  25. 

The  Life  of  Major-G-eneral  Andrew  Burn,  of  the  Boyal 
Marines.     With  a  Hkeness.     18mo.  [S.  S.  Lib.) 

The  biography  of  General  Burn  is  instructive.  He  narratfes  with  great 
simplicity  and  piety  the  dealings  of  the  Lord  with  his  soul.  His 
profession  of  religion  under  inadequate  impressions ;  his  subsequent 
apostasy ;  the  dreadful  effects  on  his  character,  produced  by  a  resi- 
dence in  France ;  his  subsequent  deliverance ;  his  true  conversion,  and 
his  steadfast  piety  to  the  close  of  a  protracted  life,  are  topics  which 
will  all  furnish  food  for  serious  reflection. 

Life  of  Lt.  Col.  Biackader.  No.  26. 

Life  of  Lieutenant- Colonel  Biackader.  Born  1654 — 
Died  1729.     18mo.  [S.  S.  Lib.) 

This  biography,  like  the  preceding,  furnishes  strong  proof  that  divine 
grace  can   sustain  the  soul  and  preserve  Christian  consistency  of

character  in  most  untoward  situations  of  life.  Burn  and  Blackader, 
in  those  two  schools  of  vice,  the  British  navy  and  army,  were  pleas- 
ing examples  of  the  truth  and  power  of  true  religion.  Blackader,  as 
a  brave  soldier,  exposed  to  innumerable  perils  in  some  of  the  bloodiest 
battles  which  have  afflicted  humanity,  never  seemed  to  forget  that 
his  dependence  was  in  God.  Let  those  who  excuse  their  negligence 
on  the  ground  of  want  of  opportunity  for  cultivating  religious  princi- 
ples, read  this  memoir,  and  see  how  piety  can  be  cultivated  in  the 
most  unpropjtious  situations. 

Life  of  Rev.  George  Trosse.  no.  27. 

Life  of  the  Rev.  George  Trosse,  of  Exeter,  England. 

18mo.  {S.  S.  Lib.) 

The  subject  of  this  memoir,  in  his  youth,  was  licentious  and  profligate 
in  the  extreme,  but  when  renewed  by  the  grace  of  God  he  became 
equally  conspicuous  for  his  holy  and  useful  life.  The  narrative  is 
highly  interesting. 

Scripture  Portions.  no.  28. 

Scripture  Portions  for  the  Afflicted,  especially  the  sick, 
with  reflections  from  various  authors.  ISmo.  [Cong. 
Lib.) 

The  design  of  this  little  book  is  sufficiently  indicated  by  its  title.  The 
reflections,  suited  to  the  afflicted,  are  selected  from  a  great  variety  of 
the  best  and  most  approved  divines.  It  is  an  excellent  little  manual 
for  a  sick  chamber. 

Destruction  of  Jerusalenfi.  no.  29. 

The  Destruction  of  Jerusalem,  an  irresistible  proof  of 

the  Divine  origin  of  Christianity.     ISmo.   {S.  JS.  Lib.) 

It  is  impossible,  as  we  think,  to  read  this  treatise  without  being  struck 
by  the  proof  which  it  affords  of  the  truth  of  Christianity.  The  pre- 
dictions of  Christ  in  relation  to  the  overthrow  and  final  destruction 
of  Jerusalem,  were  so  minutely  fulfilled,  even  his  enemies  being  the 
witnesses,  that  the  conviction  cannot  be  resisted,  that  he  was  the 
Great  Prophet.     The  prediction  and  fulfilment  are  so  associated,  and

the  details  are  so  thrilling,  that  young  persons  will  regard  this  book 
as  a  very  attractive  one. 

Christianas  Great  Interest.  no.  so. 

The  Christian's  Great  Interest;  or  the  trial  of  a  saving 
interest  in  Christ,  and  the  way  to  attain  it.  By  the  Rev. 
William  G  uthrie,  minister  at  New  Kilmarnock,  Scot- 
land, 1605.  With  an  Introductory  Essay,  by  the  Rev, 
Thomas  Chalmers,  D.D.    18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

In  the  minds  of  many  readers  the  very  name  of  this  little  work  is  as- 
sociated with  their  first  gracious  exercises  ;  for  it  is  one  of  the  num- 
ber which  used  to  circulate  from  cottage  to  cottage  among  Scottish 
Presbyterians.  It  has  the  imprimatur  of  successive  generations. 
Although  the  style  is  old,  the  matter  is  so  rich  as  amply  to  reward 
a  perusal.  Guthrie  should  not  merely  be  read  once,  but  be  the  day- 
book of  those  who  wish  to  try  whether  they  have  a  saving  interest  in 
Christ.

The  Life  of  Melville,  by  McCrie,  is  in  two  octavo  volumes,  and  contains 
a  vast  deal  of  matter  uninteresting  to  the  general  reader.     This  judi- 
cious little  abridgment  will  be  read  with  ease  and  pleasure,  particu- 
larly by  the  young.

This  famous  old  Scotch  work  is  fraught  with  narratives  of  the  wonder- 
ful works  of  grace  in  Scotland,  during  and  after  the  Reformation. 
It  may  be  regarded  as  affording  a  strong  proof  of  the  truth  of  the 
Scriptures.  It  is  one  of  the  rare  instances  of  an  abridgment  better 
than  the  original. 

Lime  Street  Lectures.  No.  36. 

The  Lime  Street  Lectures ;  a  Defence  of  the  important 

doctrines  of  the  gospel,  in  twenty-six  sermons,  by  several 

eminent  divines.     8vo.  [Min.  lAh.) 

The  Lime  Street  Lectures  have  long  been  regarded  as  a  standard  work 
on  Calvinistic  theology.  They  have  different  degrees  of  merit,  and 
yet  are  all  characterized  by  forcible  arguments  in  the  illustration  and 
enforcement  of  the  great  doctrines  of  grace.  The  clergyman's  library 
cannot  be  complete  without  this  book,  and  the  intelligent  layman 
should  be  acquainted  with  its  contents. 

Bound  Tracts.  No.  38. 

A  Series  of  Tracts,  on  the  Doctrines,  Order,  and  Polity 

of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  of 

America,  embracing  several  on  practical  subjects,  in  eleven 

volumes.     12mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

These  tracts  have  been  before  the  church  in  separate  form,  and  many 
of  them  have  been  widely  circulated,  and  extensively  useful.  They 
are  now  collected  in  eleven  neat  duodecimo  volumes.  The  entire  series 
would  form  a  most  appropriate  and  valuable  addition  to  the  house- 
hold library  of  every  Presbyterian  family.  Many  of  them  treat  in 
a  masterly  manner  of  subjects  of  vital  importance  connected  with 
the  doctrines,  order,  and  polity  of  our  church.     Others  are  of  a  prac-

tical  character ;  but  it  is  cliaracteristic  of  the  doctrinal  teaching  of 
Presbyterians,  that  it  is  either  cast  into  a  practical  form,  or  drawn 
out  in  inferences  and  applications  of  that  character.  This  may  be 
given  as  a  prominent  merit  of  the  series.

Return  of  Prayers.  no.  43. 

The  Return  of  Prayers.  By  Thomas  Goodwin,  B.D. 
32mo.   (  Gong.  Lib. ) 

Dr.  Goodwin  was  one  of  the  most  learned  and  laborious  of  the  non-con- 
formists. He  died  in  London,  1679,  aged  80,  in  full  assurance  of 
hope  and  signal  triumph.  lie  was  a  popular  writer  in  his  day,  and 
although  his  style  is  somewhat  antiquated,  it  is  sufficiently  expressive 
of  the  sterling  and  pious  thoughts  of  the  eminent  author.  This 
treatise  is  a  beautiful  illustration  of  Psalm  Ixxxv.  8,  in  which  the 
author  discusses,  in  a  comprehensive  way,  a  subject  but  too  little  con- 
sidered— the  answer  of  prayer. 

Wharey's  Church  History,  No.  45. 

Sketches  of  Church  History;  comprising  a  regular

History  of  the  Church,  from  the  birth  of  Christ  to  the 
nineteenth  century.  By  the  Rev.  James  Wharey. 
18mo.   [Cong.  Lib.) 

A  succinct,  but  very  satisfactory  sketch  of  events  in  ecclesiastical  history, 
and  particularly  suited  to  the  edification  of  those  who  have  not  the 
opportunity  of  perusing  larger  histories.  Every  Christian  should  at 
least  feel  interest  enough  in  the  history  of  the  Church  of  former  ages.

Lives  of  Owen  and  Janeway.  no.  46. 

The  Life  of  the  Rev.  John  Owen,  D.D.,  abridged  from 
Orme's  Life  of  Owen ;  and  the  Life  of  the  Rev.  John 
Janeway,  in  one  volume.     18mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

A  comparatively  small  volume,  but  embracing  the  loading  events  in  the 
lives  of  two  of  the  most  heavenly-minded  men  that  ever  fulfilled  the 
earthly  pilgrimage.  The  writings  of  Owen  are  familiar  to  every 
theological  student ;  Janeway  was  less  learned,  less  known  through 
the  press,  but  kept  equal  pace  with  him  in  that  growing  conformity 
to  the  image  of  Christ  which  makes  a  heaven  on  earth.  The  heart  is 
improved  by  the  perusal  of  such  biographies.

The  Life  of  the  Rev.  Richard  Baxter,  abridged  from

Who  has  not  read  Baxter's  Call  to  the  Unconverted,  and  the  Saint's 
Everlasting  Rest,  by  the  same  author  ?  And  who  that  has  read  these 
has  not  felt  a  desire  to  become  personally  acquainted,  as  it  were,  with 
the  author  ?  Biography  affords  the  necessary  introduction,  and  we 
may  here  see  the  author  practically  illustrating  in  his  own  life,  the 
principles  which  he  taught  to  mend  the  hearts  and  reform  the  lives  of 
others.

D.D. ,  and  the  Rev.  J,  J.  Janeway,  D.D.  18mo.  ( Cong. 
Lib.) 

This  neat  and  useful  little  volume  treats  of  a  subject  of  unspeakable 
importance,  and  furnishes  most  valuable  hints  both  to  pastors  and  the 
heads  of  families,  to  whom  it  is  earnestly  recommended. 


PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  109, 

Mem.  of  Dr.  Rodgers.  no.  so. 

Memoir  of  the  Rev.  John  Rodgers,  D.D.  Late  pastor 
of  the  "Wall  Street  and  Brick  churches,  in  the  city  of 
New  York.  By  the  Rev.  Samuel  Miller,  D.D.  With 
a  beautiful  mezzotint  likeness.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  Biography  has  peculiar  interest  for  the  clergy  and  members  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church.  Its  subject  was  an  eminent  minister  of 
the  gospel,  and  one  of  the  fathers  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  as  now 
organized.  The  biographer  has  succeeded  in  giving  a  XQvy  pleasing 
portraiture  of  the  truly  excellent  and  exemplary  man  who  held  so 
prominent  a  place  in  the  church  in  the  day  in  which  he  lived,  and 
has  interspersed  his  narrative  with  sketches  of  character,  and  histori- 
cal events  of  great  interest. 

Mystery  of  Providence.  no.  51. 

The  Mystery  of  Providence,  &c.  By  the  Rev.  John 
Flavel,  a.  D.  1677.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

Flavel  has  a  charm  which  is  peculiar  to  himself  even  among  the  Puri- 
tans. He  communicates  the  most  profound  doctrines  of  religion  with- 
out demanding  an  effort  in  his  readers.  His  style  is  simple,  animated, 
even  to  gaiety,  but  not  violently  quaint,  and  sometimes  pathetic  in  a 
high  degree.  He  presents  his  important  teachings  in  a  manner  so 
pleasant  and  fascinating,  that  we  never  lay  down  his  works  without 
wondering  how  we  could  be  so  long  absent  from  them.  This  is  by 
no  means  one  of  his  least  esteemed  works. 

Mem.  of  W.  T.  Buchanan.  No.  53.

Buchanan,  Esq.,  of  Ilfracombe.  By  the  late  William

Mr.  Buchanan  died  in  his  youth,  and  a  peculiar  interest  is  thrown  about 

his  character  from  the  circumstance,  that  grace  converted  him  from 

being  a  sceptic,  into  an  humble  follower  of  the  Lamb.     The  process 

by  which  the  great  change  was  effected,  is  given  in  detail  by  his  dear

Miller  on  Ruling  Elders.  No.  54. 

An  Essay  on  the  Warrant,  Nature  and  Duties  of  tlie 
Office  of  Ruling  Elder  in  the  Presbyterian  Church.  By 
the  Rev.  Samuel  Miller,  D.D.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  is  probably  the  fullest,  as  we  believe  it  to  be  the  best  treatise  writ- 
ten on  the  subject.  The  Warrant  is  clearly  made  out,  and  the  Duties 
forcibly  stated.  No  Ruling  Elder  should  be  ignorant  of  this  book ; 
and  indeed  every  Presbyterian  should  feel  sufficient  interest  in  the 
peculiarities  of  his  own  Church,  to  desire  to  know  the  Scriptural 
Wan-ant  of  one  of  its  principal  officers. 

Miller  on  Christian  Ministry.  No.  55. 

Miller  on  the  Christian  Ministry,  or  the  Primitive  and 
Apostolic  Order  of  the  Church  of  Christ  Vindicated.  By 
the  Rev.  Sajviiiel  Miller,  D.D.     12mo.  [Min.  Lib.) 

It  is  a  characteristic  of  this  author,  that  when  he  addresses  himself  to  a 
work,  he  comes  well  prepared ;  and  if  sound  arguments,  based  on  in- 
controvertible facts,  can  satisfy  the  mind  of  an  inquirer,  he  is  not 
likely  to  lay  down  one  of  Dr.  Miller's  books  dissatisfied.  This  work 
is  an  admirable  vindication  of  the  order  of  the  Presbyterian  Church, 
and  a  most  satisfactory  refutation  of  the  claims  of  diocesan  Episco- 
pacy. 

Hodge's  Hist.  Presb.  Church.  No.  57.

Hodge,  D.D.,  Professor  in  the  Theological  Seminary  at 
Princeton.  Two  volumes  bound  in  one.  8vo.  [Min. 
Lib.) 

This  work  should  find  a  place  in  the  library,  not  only  of  every  minister, 
but  of  every  Presbyterian  family.  As  an  authentic  history  of  our 
Chnrch  it  is  invaluable.

This  is  a  charming  little  book,  in  which  the  examples  of  three  eminently 
pious  servants  of  Christ  are  set  forth  in  so  attractive  a  manner  as  can 
scarcely  fail  to  awaken  the  desire  to  go  and  do  likewise.  It  has  a  neat 
wood-cut  as  a  frontispiece,  representing  Henry  Martyn,  sick  by  the 
way-si(ie,  shortly  before  his  translation  to  that  home  where  the  in-

By  the  Rev.  John  Campbell.    Intended  for  the  young. 

With  several  engravings.     18mo.   {S.  S.  Jjib.) 

Our  young  readers  would  be  much  pleased  to  accompany  Mr.  Campbell 
through  a  wild  part  of  Africa,  to  visit  the  different  Missionary  stations. 
The  dangers  he  escaped,  the  difficulties  he  surmounted,  and  the  vari- 
ous incidents  of  his  journey,  are  sufficient  to  keep  the  attention  en- 
gaged. 

Owen  on  the  Holy  Spirit.  No.  62. 

A  Discourse  concerning  the  Holy  Spirit,  wherein  an

necessity  of  gospel  holiness,  and  the  difference  be- 
tween grace  and  morality.  By  the  Rev.  John  Owen, 
D.D.  With  a  portrait  of  the  author.  12mo.  [Mm.

As  a  profound  theologian,  an  excellent  scholar,  and  an  humble  and  de- 
voted Christian,  few  men  have  equalled  John  Owen.     All  his  works

bear  the  traces  of  his  great  mind  and  pious  affections,  but  some  of 
them  have  always  been  the  peculiar  favourites  of  the  religious  public, 
and  among  these  his  work  on  the  Holy  Spirit  occupies  a  high  rank. 
"  Owen,"  says  Cecil,  "  stands  at  the  head  of  his  class  of  Divines.  His 
scholars  will  be  more  profound  and  enlarged,  and  better  furnished, 
than  those  of  most  other  writers.  His  work  on  the  Spirit  has  been 
my  treasure-house,  and  one  of  my  very  first-rate  books." 

History  of  the  Inquisition.  No.  63. 

History  of  the  Inquisition,  from  its  establishment  to 
the  present  time.  By  William  Sime.  With  two  en- 
gravings. 18mo.  {S.  JS.  Lib.) 

Many  large  works  have  been  written  on  the  Inquisition,  but  a  portable 
volume,  containing  all  the  principal  features  of  its  history,  has  been 
needed.  The  present  volume  is  derived  from  the  most  authentic 
sources,  and  may  be  relied  on  for  its  general  accuracy.  When  it  is 
seen  what  unspeakable  iniquity  has  been  perpetrated  under  the  name 
of  religion,  and  to  what  cruel  measures  Popery  has  resorted,  to 
abridge  human  liberty  and  enslave  conscience,  every  Protestant  must 
love  his  religion  better,  and  thank  God  more  devoutly  for  the  benefits 
of  the  Reformation. 

Life  of  Melancthon.  No.  65. 

Life  of  Philip  Melancthon,  the  German  Reformer. 

With  an  engraving.     18mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

The  mild  and  profoundly  learned  Melancthon  was  Luther's  right  hand 
man  in  the  Reformation.  The  aid  he  furnished  in  the  spread  of  the 
glorious  work  was  acknowledged  by  his  great  coadjutor,  and  should 
be  appreciated  now.  Timidity  and  boldness  were  singularly  united 
in  his  character,  and  he  seemed  to  be  admirably  qualified  to  fill  the 
place  which  he  occupied  by  the  side  of  his  more  impetuous  leader,  and 
in  a  most  critical  period  of  the  church. 

Boston's  Fourfold  State.  No.  66.

]2mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 


PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  113 

This  tas  always  been  a  favourite  work  with  the  readers  of  old-fashioned 
religious  books,  and  we  hope  the  number  of  those  who  love  such 
reading  may  be  indefinitely  multiplied.  Boston  is  a  sound  and  in- 
structive writer,  and  every  page  of  his  book  contains  the  true  spiritual 
riches.  When  the  reader  becomes  used  to  his  style,  which  a  little 
practice  will  effect,  he  will  not  be  willing  to  part  with  Boston,  as  he 
follows  him  in  his  description  of  the  fourfold  estate  of  man.

32mo.   {S.  S.  Lib.) 

This  is  an  excellent  little  work  for  children,  written  in  a  very  pleasing 
style  suited  to  their  capacities.

Life  of  Ulricus  Zuinglius,  the  Swiss  Reformer ;  with  a 
Biographical  Sketch  of  John  OEcolampadius.  "With  an 
engraving.     18mo.   (>S'.  S.  Lib.) 

The  virtues  of  this  spirited  and  undaunted  Reformer  will  always  be 
held  in  grateful  remembrance  by  the  church  of  Christ.  In  the  pro- 
minent traits  of  his  character,  he  was  not  the  inferior  of  Luther,  and 
he  was  decidedly  more  enlightened  on  some  of  the  great  points  in 
controversy.  There  are  stirring  incidents  in  his  life,  which  wfll  add 
interest  to  the  perusal.  OEcolampadius,  a  sketch  of  whose  life  is  ap- 
pended, was  the  worthy,  pious,  learned,  and  efficient  coadjutor  of  Zu- 
inglius.

terest for  the  religious  reader  who  wishes  to  note  the  progress  of  true 
religion.  Young  readers  will  be  attracted  by  the  incidents,  which  are

Scott's  Force  of  Truth.  No.  vo. 

The  Force  of  Truth,  an  authentic  narrative.  By  the 
Rev.  Thojias  Scott,  D.D.,  with  a  Recommendatory  Let- 
ter, by  the  Rev.  Samuel  Miller,  D.D.,  to  which  are 
added  eight  letters  addressed  to  Dr.  Scott,  by  the  Rev. 
John  Newton.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

The  Force  of  Truth  is  a  naxrativo  of  the  methods  adopted  by  Divine 
Providence  to  bring  the  mind  and  heart  of  an  unconverted  minister, 
from  a  state  of  carnal  security  and  gross  error  to  the  knowledge  and 
acknowledgement  of  the  truth  as  it  is  in  Jesus.  Those  who  have 
made  Scott's  Biblg  their  daily  companion,  will  read  this  narrative 
with  much  advantage.  The  value  of  this  edition  is  greatly  enhanced, 
not  only  by  the  recommendatory  letter,  but  by  having,  for  the  first 
time,  associated  with  it  the  letters  written  by  the  eminently  pious 
,  Newton  to  Dr.  Scott,  about  the  period  when  his  mind  was  beginning 
to  inquire  for  the  truth. 

Records  of  The  Presb.  Church.  no.  73. 

Records  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United 
States  of  America ;  embracing  the  minutes  of  the  Presby- 
tery of  Philadelphia  from  A.  D.  1706  to  1716 ;  Minutes 
of  the  Synod  of  Philadelphia  from  A.  D.  1717  to  1758  : 
Minutes  of  the  Synod  of  New  York  from  A.  D.  1745  to 
1758  :  Minutes  of  the  Synod  of  New  York  and  Philadel- 
phia from  A.  D.  1758  to  1788.     8vo.  [Min.  Lib.) 

In  the  ptiblication  of  this  volume,  a  desideratum  has  been  accomplished. 
The  early  records  of  the  church  which  were  in  danger  of  perishing, 
are  thus  permanently  preserved;  and  although  the  work  consists  of 
the  minutes  of  ecclesiastical  bodies,  yet  it  furnishes  much  valuable 
information  of  the  early  history  of  the  church.  No  Presbyterian 
clergyman  should  consider  his  library  complete  without  this  volume.

Religious  Experience.  no.  74. 

Thoughts  on  Religious  Experience,  By  the  Rev. 
Archibald  Alexander,  D.D.,  late  Professor  in  the 
Princeton  Theological  Seminary.     12mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

These  views  of  experimental  religion,  coming  as  they  do  from  a  vener- 
able and  experienced  father  in  the  church,  possess  much  value.  The 
high  estimation  in  which  they  are  held,  may  he  judged  from  the  fact, 
that  when  many  of  them  were  first  published  in  a  religious  newspaper, 
they  were  most  extensively  copied  by  papers  of  different  denomina- 
tions, in  various  parts  of  the  country.  They  are  written  in  a  plain 
and  familiar  style,  and  are  pervaded  by  the  kindly  and  amiable  spirit 
of  the  author.  The  volume  is  a  neat  one,  and  is  adorned  by  a  portrait 
of  the  author,  expressly  engraved  for  this  work.

[Cong.  Lib.) 

.?resbyteriatos  should  make  themselves  acquainted  with  the  prelatic  per- 
secutions of  their  Scottish  forefathers,  during  the  reigns  of  the  1st 
and  2d  Charles,  who  were  alike  tyrants  of  the  worst  grade.  The 
patient  endurance,  the  uncompromising  principle,  and  the  unaffected 
piety  of  those  men,  however  caricatured  by  novelists  and  misrepre- 
sented by  interested  historians,  will  be  perpetuated  as  an  instructive 
example  to  remote  generations.  These  two  volumes  embrace  the 
material  facts  and  narratives  of  much  larger  histories.

To  which  is  added,  Anti-christ,  a  Sermon  by  the  Rev. 

HughM'Neile,  a.  M.     18mo.  {Min.  Lib.) 

This  volume  contains  two  distinct  treatises  by  different  authors,  but  re- 
lating to  the  same  subject.     It  deserves  a  place  by  the  side  of  the 


116  CATALOGUE   OF   THE 

other  works  published  by  the  Board  on  the  subject  of  Romanism. 
The  proof  that  Popery  is  the  Antichrist  of  Scripture,  the  Man  of  Sin, 
and  the  Son  of  Perdition,  is  full  "and  satisfactory,  and  cannot  be 
evaded  by  all  the  artifices  of  Jesuitical  commentators.

To  which  is  added,  An  Introductory  Essay,  by  the  Rev. 
Samuel  Miller,  D.D.     12mo.  {Min.  Lib.) 

Next  to  the  Westminster  Assembly  of  Divines,  there  have  been  few  ec- 
clesiastical bodies  whose  history  is  more  interesting  than  that  of  the 
Synod  of  Dort.  It  is  essential  to  a  full  understanding  of  the  con- 
troversy between  Calvinism  and  Arminianism.  This  account,  trans- 
lated by  Scott,  is  the  best  and  most  authentic ;  and  it  is  enriched  by 
the  Introductory  chapter  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Miller.

The  answer  to  a  single,  but  a  very  important  question  in  the  Shorter 
Catechism,  affords  the  theme  of  this  little  volume.  The  chief  end  of 
man  is  very  fully  and  luminously  illustrated,  and  the  author  has  suc- 
ceeded in  compressing  much  instruction  into  a  small  space.

PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  117 

The  doctrines  in  controversy  between  Calvinists  and  Arminians  form 
the  subject  of  this  book,  and  the  name  of  the  writer,  who  was  de- 
cidedly one  of  the  greatest  theologians  of  his  day,  will  be  a  sufficient 
guaranty  for  the  ability  with  which  the  doctrines  of  the  Bible  are 
maintained  in  opposition  to  Arminian  errors. 

Owen  on  Justification.  no.  si. 

The  Doctrine  of  Justification  by  Faith,  through  the  im-

firmed, and  vindicated.    By  the  Kev.  John  Owen,  D.D. 

8vo.   [Min.  Lib.) 
The  cardinal  doctrine  of  justification  by  faith  is  elaborately  and  learnedly 
treated  in  this  volume.     To  the  student  of  theology,  who  wishes  to 
obtain  clear  and  far-reaching  views  of  the  gospel  scheme,  this  work 
will  bo  invaluable.

Dickinson,  A.M.,  late  Minister  of  the  Gospel  at  Eliza- 
town,  New  Jersey.     12mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  is  eminently  a  practical  treatise,  in  which  the  pious  writer,  in  a 
series  of  familiar  letters,  obviates  the  objections  which  arise  in  the 
carnal  mind  to  the  religion  of  the  gospel,  and  leads  the  inquirer  to  an 
intelligent  reception  of  the  truth  as  it  is  in  Jesus.  It  is  particularly 
appropriate  for  the  relief  of  those  who  are  troubled  with  sceptical  doubts 
on  religion.

History.     By  the  Rev.  Robert  Jamieson,  Minister  of 

Currie.     With  engravings.     12mo.  [S.  S.  Lib.) 

Whatever  tends  to  illustrate  and  explain  the  Holy  Scriptures  should  be 
highly  esteemed.  Historical  facts  and  incidents,  and  oriental  customs 
and  manners,  throw  light  upon  Scripture,  as  well  as  confirm  its  truth. 
This  has  been  successfully  done  by  the  little  work  before  us,  which 
will  be  alike  valuable  to  the  Sabbath-school  and  the  family.

Charnock,  1564.     18mo.  {Mln.  Lib.) 

The  labours  of  Charnock  have  long  been  appreciated  for  their  evangeli- 
cal tone  and  their  practical  character.  This  volume  contains  a  valu- 
able extract  from  his  works  in  relation  to  the  redemption  of  man  by

beautiful  likeness  of  the  author.     2  vols.   12mo.   (Jfm. 
Lib.) 
There  are  few  works  which  present  a  more  condensed  and  yet  satisfac- 
tory illustration  of  the  doctrines  of  the  Presbyterian   Church,  than 
these  Lectures.     Founded  on  the  Westminster  Assembly's  Shorter 
Catechism,  they  bring  every  point  distinctly  before  the  mind,  and  at 
once  explain,  prove,  and  enforce  it.     The  work   is   an   acquisition, 
particularly  to  the  youth  of  the  church.     It  is  written  throughout 
with  force  and  animation,  and  will  gain  the  awakened  attention  of 
those  for  whose  special  use  it  was  prepared.

Method  with  the  Baptists.     By  Peter  Edwards,  several 
years  pastor  of  a  Baptist  Church  at  Portsea,  Hants.  1  Smo. 
{Mm.  Lib.) 
The  author  of  this  volume  was  once  a  Baptist  clergyman,  strongly  at- 
tached to  his  peculiar  sentiments,  and  as  strongly  prejudiced  against 
the  doctrine  of  infant  baptism.     Possessing,  however,  a  vigorous  mind 
and  an  honest  intention,  he  examined  the  subject  thoroughly,  and  the 
result  was  a  conviction  that  his  former  position  was  untenable.     Con- 
fining his  attention  in  this  essay  to  a  few  principal  topics,  he  has  pro- 
duced an  argument  of  unusual  power  and  conclusiveness.    It  cannot

A  valuable  and  instructive  collection  of  pious  thoughts  and  reflections, 
by  an  eminently  good  man ;  to  which  are  appended  the  Resolutions

8vo.   [Min.  Lib.) 

This  great  production  of  Reformed  Theology  stands  upon  such  an  emi- 
nence" in  the  literature  of  Christianity,  and  has  for  three  centuries 
ma,intained  such  authority,  that  we  cannot  dare  to  uphold  it  by  any 
commendations  of  ours.  It  would  be  a  singular  omission  for  any 
minister  of  our  church  to  make  up  a  library,  however  small,  which 
should  not  contain  it;  particularly  when  offered  in  so  attractive  a 
form.

Whatever  may  tend  to  engage  the  attention  of  youth  to  the  cause  of 
missions,  should  be  regarded  with  favour.  This  collection  of  mis- 
sionary incidents  will  have  this  tendency,  and  will  form  a  valuable 
addition  to  every  Sabbath-school  library.

120  CATALOGUE    OF   THE 

The  sufferings  of  the  Covenanters  of  Scotland  should  be  kept  in  grate- 
ful remembrance  by  every  Presbyterian.  Their  love  to  God  and  their 
attachment  to  the  polity  and  doctrines  of  Presbyterianism,  were  fully 
evinced  in  the  sacrifices  they  endured  rather  than  abandon  them, 
The  author  of  this  little  book  has  rescued  many  interesting  incidents 
of  their  history,  hitherto  preserved  only  by  tradition. 

Snodgrass  on  Sanctification.  no.  93. 

The  Scripture  Doctrine  of  Sanctification  stated  and  de- 
fended against  the  errors  of  Perfectionism.  By  tlic  Rev. 
W.  D.  Snodgrass,  D.D.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  is  a  well  written  and  very  discriminating  treatise  on  the  doctrine 
of  Sanctification,  particularly  in  relation  to  its  perversion  and  abuse 
by  modern  Perfectionists.  It  would  be  a  good  antidote  to  circulate 
where  that  pestilent  heresy  prevails.

Lib.) 

Another  valuable  little  treatise  of  an  old  writer  revived.  A  little  prac- 
tice in  reading  these  old  writers,  will  confirm  the  opinion  that  "  old 
wine  is  best."

Toplady,  Vicar  of  Broad-Hembury.  ISmo.  [Cong. 
Lib.) 

These  memoirs  present  us  with  two  men  exceedingly  unlike  ,•  one  being 
a  mild,  affectionate  student  of  the  word,  an  admirer  of  nature,  and  a 
finished  scholar,  abounding  in  tenderness  and  devotion ;  and  the  other 
a  reasoner,  undaunted  in  opposing  error,  and  vehement  as  an  antago- 
nist ;  but  both  agreeing  in  uncommon  piety  and  attachment  to  the 
strong  doctrines  of  ancient  Calvinism.  They  form  a  volume  of  truly 
delightful  biography  for  the  edification  of  all  true  Christians.

Owen  on  Indwelling  Sin.  No.  96. 

The  Nature,  Power,  Deceit,  and  Prevalency  of  Indwel- 
ling Sin  in  Believers.    By  the  Rev.  John  Owen,  D.D. 
18mo.   [Cong.  Lib.)  . 
Owen  is  a  heavy  writer  in  many  respects,  and  his  style  is  uncouth,  but 
all  this  is  compensated  by  his  critical  knowledge  of  the  Scriptures 
and  his  deep  acquaintance  with  the  workings  of  the  human  heart. 
This  is  not  the  least  valued  of  his  many  practical  works. 

Lorimer's  Church  of  France.  No.  98. 

An  Historical  Sketch  of  the  Protestant  Church  of 
France,  from  its  origin  to  the  present  time,  with  parallel 
notices  of  the  Church  of  Scotland,  during  the  same  period. 
By  the  Rev.  John  Gr.  Lorimer,  Glasgow.  12mo.  ( Cong, 
Lib.) 

This  is  a  volume  embracing  much,  and  to  most  readers,  hitherto  inac- 
cessible information  respecting  the  early  French  Protestant  Church, 
in  the  season  of  its  glory,  in  its  dreadful  persecutions,  its  unhappy 
decline,  and  in  its  present  state  of  comparative  revival.  The  author 
at  the  same  time  has  collaterally  embodied  a  history  of  the  Scotch 
Church,  which  in  its  earlier  history  had  many  points  of  similarity 
with  the  French  Church,  although  in  the  result  so  much  more  highly 
favoured.  The  volume  is  rich  in  materials,  and  will  be  highly  valued 
by  the  lovers  of  ecclesiastical  history. 

McCrie's  Refornnation  in  Spain.  No.  99. 

History  of  the  Progress  and  Suppression  of  the  Refor- 
mation in  Spain  in  the  Sixteenth  Century.  By  the  Rev. 
Thomas  McCrie,  D.D.     12mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

We  have  been  accustomed  to  regard  Spain  as  almost  a  blank  in  the 
moral  world,  on  which  the  light  of  truth  had  never  shone ;  but  in 
earlier  times,  before  it  was  completely  subjugated  to  Popery,  it  pos- 
sessed the  truth,  and  even  at  the  period  of  the  great  Reformation,  it 
struggled  to  emancipate  itself,  and  was  enriched  by  the  blood  of 
martyrs.  Dr.  McCrie,  so  well  known  as  the  Biographer  of  Knox  and 
Melville,  has  rendered  a  valuable  service  to  the  Church  by  his  re-

The  best  and  most  striking  works  of  these  eminent  servants  of  God  are 
here  brought  together,  and  the  i-eader  has  the  high  privilege  of  hold- 
ing converse  with  such  men  as  WicklifF,  Tindal,  Latimer,  Hooper. 
Bradford,  Cranmer,  Knox,  Becon,  Jewell,  and  many  others.  There  is 
an  inexpressible  charm  in  thus  conversing  with  the  Reformers  of 
England  in  their  own  discourses.  Their  very  language  carries  music 
in  it.  Nothing  can  be  more  simple,  expressive,  and  heart-reaching 
than  the  genuine  English  of  Latimer  and  Becon.  Hooper  gives  us  a 
little  body  of  divinity.  The  -fiarratives,  such  as  those  of  William 
•Thorpe  and  Lord  Cobhara,  are  fascinating  and  pathetic.  The  theology 
is  identical  with  that  of  Luther,  Calvin,  and  Knox.  These  confessors 
and  martyrs  speak  the  very  language  taught  in  our  formularies. 
Every  minister  especially  should  give  these  volumes  a  place  in  his 
library.     They  will  be  a  treasure  in  any  household.

M.A.     18mo.  {S,  S.  Lib.) 

The  design  of  this  volume  is  to  give  a  clear  and  succinct  history,  or 
rather  description  of  Popery.  All  the  peculiarities  of  that  great  and 
monstrous  system  are  presented,  and  technical  matters  explained,  so 
that  to  most  readers  it  would  be  an  excellent  book  of  reference,  when 
they  might  wish  any  matter  relating  to  Popery  explained  to  them. 

Daille  on  the  Fathers.  no.  m. 

A  Treatise  on  the  right  use  of  the  Fathers,  in  the  de-

By  John  Daill^,  Minister  of  the  Gospel  in  the  Reformed 
Church  of  Paris.  With  a  Preface  by  the  Rev.  Gr.  Jekyll, 
LL.B.     Second  American  edition.     12mo.   [31m.  Lib.) 

A  valuable  and  learned  work,  which  should  be  found  in  the  library  of  min- 
isters of  all  Protestant  denominations.  There  is  not  extant  a  work 
which  more  completely  uproots  all  the  foundations  of  Romish  and 
Oxonian  pretension.  The.  method  is  admirably  clear,  the  very  table 
of  contents  presenting  a  compact  argument.  The  fathers  are  stripped 
of  that  false  glory  which  they  never  assumed  themselves,  but  which

History  of  the  Progress  and  Suppression  of  the  Refor-

Sketch  of  the  History  of  the  Reformation  in  the  Grisons. 
By  the  Rev.  Thomas  McCrie,  D.D.  12mo.  [Min. 
Lib.) 

Even  Italy,  the  principal  seat  of  Antichrist,  once  partook  of  the  light 
of  the  Reformation,  but  having  put  away  that  light  from  her,  she  is 
sunk  into  gross  darkness.  The  author  of  this  history,  displays 
in  it  the  same  research  and  accuracy,  and  the  same  bold  and  spirited 
style  which  characterize  his  other  writings.

A  history  of  God's  merciful  and  marvellous  work  in  the  conversion  of 
sinners  must  always  be  interesting  to  the  true  Christian.  These 
narratives  are  authentic,  and  display  the  operations  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
in  a  manner  so  striking  as  to  call  forth  the  prayer,  "  Lord,  revive  thy 
work  I"

Dying  Thoughts,  or  Meditations  on  Death  and  Heaven. 
By  the  Rev.  Wm.  Crawford.    18mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 


PRESBYTERIAN   BOARD   OF   PUBLICATION.  125 

An  admirable  volume,  rich  in  thought  and  pious  feeling.  The  author 
was  an  estimable  divine,  who,  being  long  apparently  on  the  borders 
of  the  grave,  made  death  and  eternity  the  principal  subjects  of  his 
thoughts  and  public  preaching.  This  book  will  prove  a  real  friend  to 
the  devout  reader.  (See  No.  295.) 

Thoughts  on  Religion.  No.  m. 

Private  Thoughts  on  Religion,  and  other  subjects  con- 
nected with  it,  by  the  Rev.  Thomas  Adam,  with  a  sketch 
of  his  life.     18mo.  [Cong.  lAh.) 

These  thoughts  evince  a  profound  acquaintance  with  the  word  of  God 
and  the  workings  of  the  human  heart.  Very  much  is  compressed  in 
few  words.  There  is  no  dilution,  but  much  concentration  of  thought. 
It  is  truly  a  golden  book,  evincing  uncommon  originality  of  genius. 
The  author  takes  us  out  of  our  ordinary  track  of  reading  and  reflec- 
tion, and  shows  us  ourselves.  He  scrutinizea  the  whole  soul,  dissi- 
pates the  false  glare  which  is  apt  to  mislead  the  judgment ;  exposes 
the  imperfections  of  what  is  apparently  most  pure  and  inviting ;  and 
thus  teaches  us  to  make  our  religion  more  and  more  spiritual,  holy, 
solid,  practical,  humble,  and  sincere.

The  Almost  Christian  Discovered ;  or  the  false  profes- 
sor tried  and  cast.  By  the  Rev.  Matthew  Mead.  18mo. 
[Cong.  Lib.) 

This  work  is  well  known  as  a  standard  book  of  practical  divinity.  It 
is  pungent,  searching,  and  to  those  who  have  but  a  name  to  live,  a 
fearful  detector  of  a  false  profession. 

Acquaintance  with  God.  no.  127. 

A  Guide  to  Acquaintance  with  God.     By  the  Rev. 

James  Sherman,  Minister,  of  Surry  Chapel,  London. 

32mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

To  become  acquainted  with  God  is  the  highest  duty  and  privilege  of  man, 
and  the  judicious  advice  of  those  who  have  gone  before  in  the  acqui- 
sition should  be  highly  prized.     Mr.  Sherman  may  be  safely  recom-

The  history  of  the  martyrs  should  be  familiar  to  every  Protestant.  A 
knowledge  of  the  circumstances  of  the  lives  and  deaths  of  those  who 
died  for  Christ's  sake,  is  calculated  to  render  the  truth  for  which  they 
died  dear  to  every  Christian's  heart.  We  need  not  say  that  these 
volumes  are  deeply  interesting,  and  that  they  have  been  prepared  for 
the  press  by  a  skilful  hand.

Brown,  of  Edinburgh.  Embelished  with  a  portrait. 
12mo.     [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  work  is  so  well  known  for  its  excellence  as  to  need  no  commenda- 
tion. It  is  rich  in  thought,  in  Christian  experience,  in  instruction. 
Let  every  Christian  read  ahd  study  it.  It  is  adorned  by  a  portrait  of 
the  author,  expressly  engraved  for  this  work.     (See  No.  246.)

Jesus,  with  the  Sequel  of  the  Trial.  By  Thomas  Sher- 
lock, D.D.     Bishop  of  London.     12mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

The  fabric  of  the  Christian  system  rests  upon  the  truth  of  Christ's  res- 
urrection ;  and  in  this  little  work  the  evidence  in  support  of  this 
great  fact  is  ingeniously  set  forth  under  the  forms  of  a  jury  trial. 
The  Sequel  was  called  forth  by  an  attack  on  the  former  work.  Both 
together  form  an  excellent  body  of  evidence  in  proof  of  the  truth  of 
Christianity.

ter. By  Philip  Doddridge,  D.D.  Embellished  with  a 
portrait.     12mo.   [Cong.  Ldh.) 

The  praise  of  this  work  is  in  all  the  churches,  and  there  are  very  few 
uninspired  compositions  which  have  been  so  extensively  blessed  in  the 
conversion  of  souls  to  God.  Those  who  are  without  God  and  without 
hope,  should  be  earnestly  persuaded  by  their  religious  friends  to  read 
this  volume.     The  portrait  of  the  author  is  beautifully  executed.

This  is  a  new,  revised,  and  enlarged  edition  of  this  excellent  work, 
which  has  long  been  on  the  Catalogue  of  the  Board.  Dr.  Smyth  has 
availed  himself  of  new  sources  of  information  as  to  the  character  of 
Calvin,  not  accessible  until  within  a  few  j'^ears  past.  It  will  be  found 
a  most  valuable  contribution  to  the  cause  of  truth  in  vindicating  the 
character  of  one  of  the  greatest  and  best  men  v/ho  ever  lived,  from 
the  malignant  calumnies  of  those  who  hated  and  slandered  him,  be- 
cause they  hated  the  truth  which  he  so  ably  defended.

This  work  has  gone  through  various  editions  both  in  England  and  in 
this    country,  but   the  present  has  the  last  improvements  from  the 
author's  hand.     As  an  illustration  of  the  prophecies,  it  possesses  deep 
interest  and  strongly  engages  the  attention.     This  edition  is  beauti- 
fully printed,  and  embellished  with  steel  and  wood  engravings.

series  of  Letters  to  the  Rev.  Dr.  Pusey.  By  John 
Brown,  D.D.,  minister  of  Langton,  Berwickshire.  To 
which  is  added  an  article  on  the  Anglican  Reformation, 
from  the  Edinburgh  Presbyterian  Review.  12mo.  [Min. 
Lib.) 

The  high  church  controversy,  is  one  with  which  no  disciple  of  Christ  should 
be  unacquainted.  Puseyism,  so  called,  is  a  pernicious  heresy,  and 
lays  the  axe  at  the  root  of  Christian  hope.  The  author  of  this  work 
exposes  it  in  its  true  character,  and  furnishes  the  weapons  with  which 
it  is  to  be  encountered.

with  Engravings.     2  vols.  12mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

The  period  covered  by  this  history  is  one  peculiarly  instructive  and  in- 
teresting. At  no  time,  and  among  no  people,  was  the  power  of  divine 
truth  in  forming  the  character  of  men,  and  in  sustaining  them  in  an 
apparently  hopeless  conflict,  more  clearly  exhibited.  This  work  pre- 
sents a  mass  of  facts  relating  to  the  early  persecution  of  the  Presby- 
terians in  Scotland,  which  will  awaken  thrilling  interest  in  the  bosom 
of  the  reader.

This  is  one  of  the  most  complete  and  conclusive  demonstrations  of  the 
divine  origin  of  the  Scriptures  extant.  Its  wide  circulation  cannot 
fail  to  retard  the  spread  of  infidel  principles.

carefully  collated  with  the  edition  containing  the  author's

gravings.    [Cong.  Lib.)

guage is  known;  one  of  the  wonders  of  genius;  a  book  which  charms 
the  child  befoi-e  he  can  comprehend  its  meaning ;  which  delights  and 
instructs  the  experienced  Christian ;  and  which,  in  despite  of  its  sub- 
ject, excites  the  admiration  of  the  man  of  letters.  This  edition  is  a 
beautiful  one ;  the  style  of  the  typography  is  unsurpassed,  and  the 
engravings  are  of  the  first  order.

This  admirable  treatise  from  the  pen  of  Calvin  is  valuable,  as  exhibit- 
ing the  views  of  the  great  Reformer  on  the  grounds  of  the  necessity 
of  a  church  reform  in  his  day.  It  has  lost  none  of  its  interest  by  the

with  which  it  treats  a  very  difficult  subject.

and  hearts  of  children,  and  the  author  of  the  present  little  volume 
possesses  it  in  no  ordinary  degree.  The  addresses  may  be  used  by 
parents  and  Sabbath-school  teachers  to  engage  the  attention  of  chil- 
dren to  religious  truth.

every  follower  of  Christ  should  he  willing  to  encounter,  when  fidelity

The  History  of  Celestine  Darscott,  the  Blind  Woman 
of  Paturages,  with  a  wood-cut.     32mo.   ( S.  S.  Lib. ) 

The  subject  of  this  narrative  was  a  convert  from  Popery,  and  her  faith- 
ful attachment  to  the  truth  subjected  her, to  many  trials,  which  she 
bore  with  exemplary  fortitude.  Poor,  blind,  and  often  destitute  of 
the  necessaries  of  life,  she  still  found  religion  to  be  a  source  of  un- 
failing comfort.     Her  story  is  deeply  interesting.

portable  and  effectual  preventive  of  the  prime  error  of  Popery.

18mo.  {S.  S.  Lib.) 
Howard  is  known  to  all  as  the  great  philanthropist  who  spent  most  of 
his  life  in  visiting  prisons  and  hospitals  with  the  benevolent  desire  of 
alleviating  the  miseries  of  their  unhappy  inmates.  Humanity  owes 
a  debt  of  gratitude  to  this  good  man ;  and  we  think  his  memoir  can 
scarcely  be  read  by  any  one  without  imbibing  some  of  his  excellent 
spirit.

The  Rev.  R.  M.  McCheyne  was  a  young  Scotch  clergyman  of  gi-eat 
abilities  and  eminent  piety.     His  brief  life  was  most  laboriously  and 
usefully  spent  in  the  service  of  the  gospel,  and  few  have  instrument-

literature  of  the  world.  The  Natural  History  of  the  Scriptures  is  well 
explained  in  this  excellent  compend.  It  indeed  throws  much  light

The  delegates  selected  for  this  mission  were,  by  their  learning  and  piety, 
admirably  qualified  for  their  work,  and  the  volume  which  they  have 
produced  is  one  of  profound  interest.     Not  only  is  the  information 
which  they  give  of  the  scattered  tribes  of  Israel  of  great  value,  but 
their  incidental  observations  on  manners  and  customs,  tend  in  a  pleas-

Daughter.     By  the  late  Bev.  George  Lawson,  D.D., 

Selkirk.     32mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

The  deep  conscientiousness  and  tender  aflfection  displayed  in  these  Re- 
flections may  well  be  commended  to  the  notice  of  Christian  parents. 
In  contrast  with  the  anxiety  of  most  parents  for  the  temporal  pros- 
perity of  their  children,  the  author  of  these  Reflections  seemed  wholly 
absorbed  in  desires  for  the  eternal  welfare  of  his  child.

Fear  of  God,  The  Fear  of  Man,  Docility,  Filial  Obedience,  and  the 
like,  the  aphorisms  of  the  inspired  sage  are  regularly  classified.  Each 
collection  of  these  aphorisms  is  followed  by  a  practical  comment,  il- 
lustrating and  enforcing  the  subject  to  which  they  relate.  The  plan 
is  a  felicitous  conception,  and  it  is  admirably  executed.

The  family  of  Philip  Henry  might  well  be  styled  the  holy  and  happy 
family.  The  children  truly  walked  in  the  footsteps  of  their  pious 
parents.  Their  virtues  are  pleasingly  portrayed  in  these  memoirs.

The  author  of  this  volume  haa  supplied  a  desideratum,  in  presenting  in 
one  view  the  internal  evidence  of  the  truth  of  the  Holy  Scriptures. 
Regarding  the  Bible  as  it  is,  he  has  shown  from  its  structure,  facts, 
teachings,  and  tendencies,  that  it  is  a  revelation  from  God.  A  peru- 
sal of  it  may  serve  to  confirm  the  faith  of  the  Christian,  as  well  as  to 
shake  the  confidence  of  the  skeptical.

correct,  and  unmutilated  edition.     It  presents  a  judicious,  solid,  and 
scriptural  view  of  the  great  work  of  Redemption,  and  is  perhaps  the

a  passion  in  the  human  mind,  will  find  its  gratification  in  these  nar-

ter of  the  New  Testament.  By  the  same  author.  ISmo. 
[S,  S.  Lib.) 


PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  143 

The  design  of  these  two  works  is  to  illustrate  a  select  passage  from  every 
chapter  in  the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  by  an  appropriate  anecdote. 
They  afford  most  agreeable  reading,  and  often  associate  with  the  text 
some  impressive  and  awakening  facts.  The  adage  that  example  is 
better  than  precept,  though  a  fallacy,  contains  a  form  of  truth. 
Doctrines  or  precepts  when  presented  in  the  concrete  form  of  example, 
often  attract  attention  and  make  an  impression,  which  an  abstract 
proposition  would  fail  to  do.  These  volumes  are  well  adapted  to  this 
end.

Samuel  J.  Cassels.     12mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

An  excellent  work,  and  particularly  seasonable.  The  style  of  the  author 
is  pleasing,  and  his  positions  are  clearly  demonstrated.  The  reader 
is  never  at  a  loss  for  the  meaning;  the  remarks  under  the  several 
heads  are  concise,  appropriate,  and  forcible.  The  identification  of 
Popery  with  the  Antichrist,  is  complete  and  satisfactory. 

The  Three  Questions.  No.  209. 

The  Three  Questions ;  or  What  am  I  ?  "Whence  came 
I?    Whither  do  I  go?    l^mo.   [Cong.  Lib.)

votional habits,  without  the  aid  of  written  forms.  By  the 
Rev.  Jajies  McGill,  Lochmaben.     18mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

This  work  may  be  confidently  recommended  as  one  of  the  best  treatises 
on  the  subject  extant.  It  is  not  coldly  didactic,  but  is  pervaded  by  a 
spirit  of  enlivening  piety.  There  are  few  Christians  who  might  not 
receive  essential  benefit  from  a  careful  perusal  of  it.

treated,  places  the  author  among  the  first  rank  of  American  writers.

Correspondence.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

As  John  Newton  was  among  the  most  useful  and  distinguished  minis- 
ters of  the  gospel,  so  his  early  life  was  most  remarkable.  Rescued 
from  the  deepest  degradation  of  sin,  he  rose  to  be  one  of  the  bright- 
est monuments  of  divine  grace.  This  memoir  of  him  is  much  more 
complete  than  those  which  are  more  commonly  known.  With  a  mez- 
zotint likeness.

minster Assembly  of  Divines.  By  the  Rev.  Robert 
Shaw,  Whitburn,  12mo.  [Min.  Lib.) 

This  book  is  strictly  what  it  purports  to  be,  an  exposition  of  the  Confes- 
sion of  Faith.  The  contents  of  the  Confession  are  given  section  by- 
section,  and  the  exposition  follows  as  a  comment.  From  the  extent 
of  ground  to  be  passed  over,  the  exposition  is  of  course  brief;  but  it 
is  sound,  popular,  judicious,  and  comprehensive.  Such  a  work  has 
long  been  a  desideratum.

Baxter.  Abridged  for  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Pub- 
lication.    12mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

Few  books  have  been  so  extensively  read,  or  have  produced  such  decided 
eflfects  as  Baxter's  Saints'  Rest.  No  Christian  should  be  without  it, 
who  desires  to  make  sure  progress  to  heaven,  and  refresh  himself 
with  its  joys  in  anticipation.  This  is  a  new  abridgment  of  the 
original  work,  and,  in  all  respects,  superior  to  that  which  has  hitherto 
been  in  use.

{S.S.  Lib.)

With  an  Introductory  Essay  by  Thomas  Chalmers,  D. 
D.     18mo.  {Cong.  Lib.) 

The  Call  to  the  Unconverted  has,  in  many  instances,  proved  a  most 
effectual  call,  and  many  will  have  reason  for  eternal  thanksgiving 
that  this  book  was  placed  in  their  hands.  Christians  would  be  doing 
a  truly  benevolent  work  by  presenting  copies  of  this  book  to  all  their 
unconverted  neighbours.

escape.

Thoughts  on  Family  Worship.    By  the  Rev.  James 

W.  Alexander,  D.D.     With  a  mezzotint  plate.    12mo. 

[Cong.  Lib.) 

A  truly  admirable  treatise,  full  of  instructive  remark,  given  in  the  best 

style  of  the  author,  who  has  few  equals  in  the  easy,  graceful  manner 

of  communicating  to  others  the  stores  of  his  own  richly-furnished 

mind.     The   subject   treated   is   one   of  incalculable   importance  to 

families,  the  virtue  and  happiness  of  which  cannot  be  secured  without 

a  recognition  of  God  in  daily  worship.     This  volume,  from  its  first 

publication,  has  been  unusually  popular. 

Bunyan^s  Holy  War.  no.  227.

8vo.  [Cong.  Zdb.) 
The  Holy  War,  though  it  has  never  attained  the  popularity  or  exerted 
the  influence  of  Pilgrim's  Progress,  bears  the  impress  of  the  same 
imaginative  mind,  and  breathes  throughout  the  same  spirit  of  genu- 
ine religion.  This  edition  is  a  very  fine  one,  and  is  enriched  by  ad- 
mirably executed  pictorial  embellishments.

army.     18mo.  ( Cong.  Ldh. ) 

A  series  of  pleasing  sketches  tending  to  show  that,  under  circumstances 
apparently  the  most  unpromising,  the  grace  of  God  may  most  effec- 
tually work  in  transforming  and  sanctifying  the  human  heart.  Amidst 
the  noise  and  dissipations  of  a  camp,  the  Spirit  of  God  may  display 
the  power  of  his  presence  by  restoring  the  wanderers  to  the  fold  of 
Christ.

Griasgow.     12mo.    [Min.  Lib.) 
The  Essays  of  McLaurin  have  elicited  the  praise  of  the  most  competent 

judges,  for  their  vigour  of  thought,  depth  of  penetration,  and  logical 

arrangement.     A  fine  tone  of  evangelical  sentiment  pervades  them  ; 

and  he  that  will  read  them  carefully,  and  study  them  thoroughly, 

will  find  his  own  mind  enlarged  and  invigorated. 

Bates's  Harmony  of  Attributes.         no.  231. 

The  Harmony  of  the  Divine  Attributes,  in  the  contriv- 
ance and  accomplishment  of  man's  redemption.  By 
William  Bates,  D.D.     12mo.  {Min.  Lib.) 

A  solid  and  instructive  volume,  in  which  the  grand  features  of  the 
gospel  scheme  are  forcibly  presented.  While  man,  on  the  one  hand, 
is  exhibited  in  his  guilt,  ruin,  and  impotence,  the  grace  and  power 
of  God  in  redemption  are  magnified.  We  need  scarcely  say  that 
this  is  a  book  not  to  be  lightly  read  and  laid  aside,  but  to  be  seriously 
studied  and  pondered. 

Naaman  and  Elisha.  no.  232. 

Naaman  and  Elisha,  or  the  Nobleman's  visit  to  the 
Prophet.  By  the  Rev.  Joseph  Alden,  D.D.  18mo. 
[S.  S.  Lib.) 

The  interesting  narrative  of  Naaman's  visit  to  Elisha,  and  the  miracu- 
lous cure  of  his  leprosy,  are,  in  this  volume,  made  the  basis  of  some 
excellent  and  appropriate  reflections. 

Minor  Scripture  Characters.  no.  233. 

Minor  Characters  of  the  Bible.  By  the  Rev.  John 
Hall,  D.D.     18mo.  {S.  S.  Lib.) 

The  author  has  evinced  a  pleasing  skill  in  making  even  those  whose 
names  are  but  incidentally  introduced  into  Scripture,  minister  to  our 
instruction.  The  volume  contains  many  new  and  striking  truths 
felicitously  expressed.  It  evinces  unusual  acquaintance  with  the  Scrip- 
tures, and  suggests  a  mode  of  biblical  study  which  is  not  frequently 
employed,  but  is  highly  important.

formance. By  the  Rev.  Thomas  Houston,  of  Knock- 
bracken.     18mo.  [Cong.  Lib.) 

A  reprint  of  a  recent  foreign  work,  and  well  adapted  to  the  present 
times.  No  duties  are  more  solemn  and  momentous  than  those  result- 
ing from  the  parental  relation,  and  if,  either  through  ignorance  or  ne- 
glect on  the  part  of  parents,  their  children  are  suffered  to  grow  up 
without  being  surrounded  by  the  holy  influences  of  religion,  their 
ruin  is  almost  certain,  while  fearful  guilt  rests  on  the  authors  of  their 
being.     Parents  should  make  themselves  acquainted  with  this  book.

18mo.   {Cong,  Lib.) 
Although  this  book  was  originally  printed  more  than  two  centuries  ago, 
it  exhibits  the  vicissitudes  of  Christian  experience  in  the  present  day, 
and  may  be  usefully  consulted  for  advice  and  counsel  by  the  heavy- 
laden.

Daily  Bread,  consisting  of  extracts  in  prose  and  verse, 

from  eminent  divines,  for  every  day  in  the  year.     18mo. 

{Cong.  Lib.) 

Many  persons  excuse  their  neglect  of  religious  reading  from  want  of 

time.     Here  is  a  book  which  will,  in  a  measure  at  least,  remove  this 

ground  of  apology ;  for,  surely  no  one  can  be  so  absorbed  in  lawful 

occupations,  as  not  to  have  time  to  read  the  text,  the  verse,  and  the 

reflection  which  are  here  assigned  to  every  day  in  the  year.

ing, Devon.  Abridged  from  the  memoir  written  by  the 
Rev.  Charles  Bridges,  M. A.     18mo.   {Cong.  Lib.) 


PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF   PUBLICATION.  151 

Miss  Graham  was  a  young  lady  of  remarkable  intelligence,  as  her 
writings  amply  prove ;  and  her  memoir  is  deeply  interesting,  as  ex- 
hibiting the  struggles  of  her  mind  in  divesting  itself  of  erroneous 
views,  and  attaining  a  just  comprehension  of  that  glorious  system  of 
truth,  in  the  full  conviction  of  which  she  enjoyed  a  firm  and  settled 
hope  of  eternal  life.

the  Rev.  John  Campbell.     18mo.  {S.  S.  Lib.) 

Very  agreeable  reading,  and,  withal,  an  example  of  the  way  in  which 
the  Christian  may  make  his  ordinary  walks  minister  to  his  own  im- 
provement and  the  welfare  of  his  fellow-men.

seems  to  suggest  some  pleasing  lesson.     It  has  numerous  cuts.

A  New  Token  for  Children.     18mo.   [S.  S.  Lib.) 

A  collection  of  twenty-six  narratives,  going  to  show  the  power  of  re- 
ligious truth  as  exemplified  in  the  life  and  death  of  remarkable  chil- 
dren. The  interest  awakened  by  these  striking  examples  of  the  beauty 
and  power  of  religion  in  moulding  the  character  of  mere  children, 
and  changing  the  whole  aspect  of  their  death,  is  absorbing  to  a  degree 
that  is  almost  painful.  The  impression  is  all  the  more  powerful  and 
salutary  from  the  conviction  that  we  are  dealing  with  actual  facts.

This  volume  possesses  a  thrilling  interest,  as  showing  the  change  of 
character  wrought  in  savages  by  the  power  of  the  gospel,  and  the 
readiness  with  which  they  offered  up  their  lives  rather  than  deny  the 
name  of  Jesus.

a  vigilant  Providence,  and  not  a  blind  chance.

evidence  for  Scripture  readers,  City  Missionaries,  Sab- 
bath-school Teachers,  &c.  By  the  Rev.  John  Cumming, 
D.D.     18mo.   {Cong.  Lib.) 

In  a  very  pleasing  style,  the  author  presents  a  summary  of  the  most 
striking  evidences  that  the  Christian  religion,  so  far  from  being  a 
cunningly-devised  fable,  is  manifestly  a  revelation  from  God.  If 
such  books  were  put  into  the  hands  of  our  youth,  they  would  be  in 
comparatively  little  danger  of  being  seduced  by  a  soul-destroying  in- 
fidelity.

If  these  two  volumes  were  submitted  to  the  judgment  of  almost  any  of 
our  young  friends,  we  could  readily  anticipate  their  verdict.  They 
would  with  one  voice  pronounce  them  "  first-rate."  The  family  scenes, 
the  amusements  of  the  younger  members,  theirreadiness  to  receive  in-

with  two  engravings.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

This  is  one  of  the  most  engaging  narratives  ever  published.  The  African 
Preacher  was  a  Virginia  slave,  upon  whose  mind,  without  the  aids  of 
education,  God  poured  a  celestial  light,  which  enabled  him  to  compre- 
hend the  great  truths  of  the  Bible,  and  into  whose  heart  he  infused  a 
holy  love  for  religion.  The  best  educated  persons  delighted  to  listen 
to  him  and  learn  wisdom  from  his  lips.

A  capital  volume,  embracing  many  of  the  instructive  letters  of  that  emi- 
nently good  man,  John  Newton,  in  whose  conversion  and  subsequent 
history,  the  grace  of  God  was  wonderfully  exhibited.  Cardiphonia 
means  "the  utterance  of  the  heart;"  and  such  the  book  really  is.  The

16mo.  with  an  engraving.   [S.  S,  Lib.) 

Youthful  readers,  who  are  fond  of  poetry,  and  who  can  more  readily 
commit  it  to  memory  than  prose,  will  find  here  the  great  principles 
of  religion  in  plain  and  easy  verse,  written  especially  for  them  by  the 
pious  and  learned  Dr.  Doddridge.

The  Christian's  Daily  Walk,  in  holy  security  and  peace. 
By  the  Rev.  Henry  Scudder.     12mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

Solid  instruction  forms  the  staple  of  this  volume.  It  was  written  two 
hundred  years  ago,  and  received  the  commendation  of  such  men  as  Dr. 
Owen  and  Mr.  Baxter.  To  those  whose  taste  has  not  been  vitiated 
by  the  light  and  frothy  literature  which  is  but  too  common  in  the 
present  day,  the  Christian's  Daily  Walk  will  prove  an  acceptable 
companion.

fessor in  Princeton  Theological  Seminary.     With  a  por- 
j  trait.    8vo.   [Cong.  Lib.) 

Dr.  Alexander  placed  the  Christian  community  under  lasting  obliga- 
tions, by  permitting  this  choice  selection  from  his  sermons  to  be  pub- 
lished. They  are  characterized  by  simplicity,  profound  knowledge 
of  the  human  heart,  vigorous  thought,  and  sound  evangelical  senti- 
ment. The  volume  is  beautifully  printed,  aiid  adorned  with  a  por- 
trait, which  has  the  merit  of  being  a  correct  likeness.

Pious  Meditations  and  Devout  Breathings.     By  the

{Cong.  Lib.) 
Bishop  Hall  was  a  great  and  good  man,  who  left  behind  voluminous 
writings.     The  selections  in  this  book  are  made  from  his  devotional 
writings,  and  the  style  is  only  so  far  changed  as  to  make  it  intelligi- 
ble in  modern  times.     The  thoughts  are  striking,  and  bear  evidence 
that  he  was  a  man  who  conversed  much  with  God  and  his  own  heart, 
and  whose  knowledge  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  was  profound.

This  volume  is  composed  of  a  number  of  valuable  Tracts  by  the  Rev. 
James  Hamilton,  the  Rev.  H.  F.  Burder,  and  the  Rev.  R.  M.  Mc- 
Cheyne.  It  comprises  the  Vine,  the  Cedar,  the  Palm,  the  Olive,  the 
Church  in  the  House,  the  Government  of  the  Thoughts,  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  Tongue,  Remember  Eli,  or  a  Solemn  Call  to  Parents,  and 
a  Pastor's  Inquiries  j  all  intci-esting,  practical  and  instructive.  Hero 
is  a  Garden  containing  trees,  "good  for  food,  and  pleasant  to  the  eyes, 
and  to  be  desired  to  make  one  wise."

Bethany,  or  the  Sickness,  Death,  and  Resurrection  of 

Lazarus,  by  the  Rev,  R.  M.  McCheyne.     ISmo.  With 

two  engravings.     ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

This  like  everything  else  from  McCheyne's  pen,  breathes  a  sweet  spirit 

of  gentle,  humble  piety.     We  have  not  here  the  bold  and  manly  logic 

of  Paul,  nor  the  ardent  and  sometimes  impetuous  fervour  of  Peter  ; 

but  we  have  a  tender,  confiding  John,  pouring  out  in  unaffected  terms 

his  love  for  the  Master  on  whose  bosom  he  leans,  and  his  yearnings 

of  heart  that  all  should  love  such  a  Master,  and  that  loving  him  they 

should  love  one  another.     All  who  are  familiar  with  the  writings  of 

this  youthful  messenger  of  God,  may  readily  imagine  how  he  would 

deport  himself  when  in  company  with  Jesus,  Mary  and  Martha,  at  the 

tomb  of  Lazarus.

.  {Cong.  Lib.) 
This  volume  is  highly  practical  and  suggestive.  The  writer's  aim  is  to 
remove  the  darkness  and  doubts  with  which  the  minds  of  many  sin- 
cere Christians  are  disturbed,  and  to  administer  to  all  such  that  peace 
which  the  Redeemer  has  left  as  a  legacy  to  his  faithful  followers.  It 
is  rich  in  themes  of  consolation  and  encouragement  to  God's  afflicted, 
tempest-tossed  people.

Jameses  Anxious  Inquirer.  no.  285. 

The  Anxious  Inquirer  after  Salvation  directed  and  en- 
couraged. By  John  Angell  James.  18mo.  [Cong. 
JUb.) 

A  work,  the  merit  of  which  has  been  well  attested.  It  has  gone  through 
various  editions,  and  has  been  singularly  useful  to  those  whose  at- 
tention has  been  awakened  to  the  great  concern  of  salvation.  We 
Cordially  commend  it  to  the  anxious  inquirer,  in  connection  with  an- 
other book  of  similar  character  found  on  this  catalogue,  viz  ;  Henry's 
Anxious  Inquirer.  (No.  12.)

the  Pearl  of  Days,  by  a  Labourer's  Daughter.  12mo. 
with  nine  beautiful  engravings.     ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

The  importance  of  the  subject,  the  peculiarity  of  the  authorship,  the  style 
of  publication,  and  the  cheapness  of  the  volume,  render  this  a  very 
attractive  book. 

Bible  Dictionary.  no.  287. 

A  Bible  Dictionary,  adapted  for  the  use  of  Bible  classes, 
Sabbath-schools,  and  Families.  12mo.  ( S.  S.  Lib. ) 

This  work  is  chiefly  recommended  by  two  considerations.  In  the  first 
place,  it  presents  in  a  very  conA'enient  and  acceptable  form,  a  con- 
densed summary  of  information  and  opinion,  gleaned  from  the  varied 
researches  of  the  learned  on  the  subjects  discussed  under  the  several 
articles.  And  in  the  second  place,  it  is  distinctly  Presbyterian  in  its 
doctrines  and  polity.  A  work  of  this  kind,  which  should  contain  all 
that  is  needed  to  illustrate  Biblical  Geography,  History,  Biography, 
and.  Antiquities,  and  at  the  same  time  exhibit  the  doctrines  of  the

Bible  as  laid  down  in  our  standards,  has  long  been  a  desideratum  in

will  be  an  invaluable  addition.

An  AiFectionate  Address  to  Mothers.  By  the  Rev.

A  most  important  subject  is  here  presented,  in  a  form  which  cannot  fail 
to  interest  and  profit  those  to  whom  it  is  addressed. 

Triumph  over  Death.  no.  289. 

The  Christian  Philosopher  Triumphing  over  Death; 
or,  A  Narrative  of  the  Closing  Scenes  of  the  Life  of  Wil- 
liam Grordon,  M.D.,  F.L.S.,  of  Kingston-upon-Hull.  By 
Newman  Hall,  B.A.,  with  a  lithographed  likeness.  To 
which  is  added,  A  Memoir  of  Dr.  John  D.  Godman,  hy 
Dr.  Thomas  Sewall,  12mo.  ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

The  former  part  of  this  volume  is  a  reprint  from  the  Sixth  English  edi- 
tion. It  exhibits  one  of  the  most  remarkable  dying  scenes  of  a  Chris- 
tian which  we  have  ever  read.  "The  pains,  the  groans,  and  dying 
strife"  which  so  often  characterize  the  closing  scenes,  even  of  the  be- 
liever, were  strangers  to  the  death-bed  of  Dr.  Gordon  ;  peace,  joy,  and 
triumph  through  the  blood  of  the  Lamb  marked  his  chamber  as  the 
"  robing-room  of  heaven." 

The  Memoir  of  Dr.  Godman,  which  is  appended  to  this  edition,  is 
scarcely  less  interesting,  though  better  known,  having  been  be- 
fore published  in  this  country  as  a  Tract.  There  are  few  books 
which  we  should  place,  with  higher  hopes  of  usefulness,  in  the  hands 
of  an  intelligent  physician  or  cultivator  of  science,  than  this  simple, 
but  authentic  and  beautiful  memoir  of  two  men,  whose  names  are  as 
familiar  in  the  departments  of  medicine  and  natural  science,  as  they 
will  be  precious  in  the  memory  of  the  church  of  Christ.

{S.  S.  UK) 

An  attractive  volume,  full  of  entertainment  for  the  young.  It  is 
dedicated  to  his  "own  dear  children"  by  the  compiler,  an  affectionate 
father,  who  devoted  some  midnight  hours  to  compiling  it  for  their  in- 
struction and  amusement.  The  variety  of  interesting  incidents, 
and  the  handsome  illustrations,  make  it  appropriate  as  a  gift  book

A  simple  and  touching  portraiture  of  pious  poverty,  struggling  on  in 
the  midst  of  the  most  adverse  circumstances,  and  under  the  weight  of 
heavy  afflictions.  Professing  Christians,  in  all  conditions  of  life, 
may  read  with  great  profit  such  annals  of  the  poor.

a  Description  of  Christ.     By  Richard  Sibbes,  D.D. 

18mo.   [Cong.  Lib.) 

This  is  a  flagon  of  old  wine,  that  has  lost  nothing  in  the  keeping.  It 
is  an  elaborate  exposition,  after  the  old  Puritan  method,  of  Matt.  xii. 
20,  in  which  the  infirmities  and  frailties  of  Christians  are  described 
under  the  image  of  the  bruised  reed  and  smoking  flax,  and  the  ten- 
derness of  Christ  in  dealing  with  these  weaknesses  very  touchingly 
and  beautifully  set  forth.  Baxter  mentions  this  treatise  as  one  that 
contributed  very  greatly  to  lead  him  to  Christ.

with  two  engravings.   [Cong.  Lib.) 


164  CATALOGUE   OF   THE 

This  work  is  admirably  adapted  to  extend  a  knowledge  of  the  Levitical 
institutions,  and  to  excite  a  deeper  interest  in  reading  the  Old  Testa- 
ment. In  a  very  graphic  and  popular  style  the  author  has  described 
the  ritual  of  the  Old  Testament,  whilst  its  spiritual  meaning  is  brought 
out,  the  typology  is  interpreted,  and  a  most  interesting  representa- 
tion of  evangelical  truth  is  exhibited  in  an  earnest  and  heart-stirring 
manner.  The  plan  embraces  a  view  of  the  temple  on  Mount  Moriah ; 
an  account  of  the  priesthood ;  a  description  of  the  daily  worship,  and 
of  the  rites  peculiar  to  the  passover,  to  the  feasts  of  Pentecost  and 
Tabernacles,  the  yearly  atonement,  and  the  festivals  of  the  New 
Moons  and  New  Years ;  and  an  account  of  the  Sabbath-day,  Sab- 
bath-year, and  Jubilee.  It  is  a  book  not  for  scholars,  but  for 
the  people,  and  especially  valuable  to  Sabbath-school  teachers.

The  Three  Last  Things,   or  Death,  Judgment,   and 

Eternity,  by  the  Rev.  John  Hambleton,  M.  A.     18mo. 

( Co7iff.  Lib. ) 

This  is  a  solemn  and  earnest  presentation  of  those  august  themes.  Death, 
Judgment,  and  Eternity,  called  by  the  old  divines  noviaaima — "  last 
things."  They  are  handled  in  a  manner  calculated  to  make  a  deep 
and  permanent  impression  on  the  mind  of  the  reader.

Light    and    Support  for    the  Dark  Valley.      18mo. 
[Cong.  Idb.) 

This  is  a  little  hand-lamp  for  a  pilgrim  who  expects  to  go  down  into 
the  dark  and  lonely  valley  that  lies  before  him,  and  our  highest  praise 
of  it  is  to  say,  that  the  light  by  which  it  gilds  that  gloomy  gorge,  is 
a  light  borrowed  from  the  gospel.

Lessons  of  Life  and  Death,  a  Memorial  of  Sarah  Ball, 
who  died  in  her  18th  year.    By  Elizabeth  Ritchie. 

18 mo.  [Cong.  lAh.) 

This  is  a  graceful  and  touching  tribute  to  a  very  lovely  character.  She 
was  an  English  girl,  who  manifested  perhaps  a  precocious  develop- 
ment of  both  mind  and  heart,  and,  like  such  rare  and  exotic  growths, 
was  early  transplanted  to  heaven.  The  book  describes  her  childhood, 
her  conversion,  her  spiritual  conflicts,  her  intellectual  and  Christian 
character,  and  the  triumphant  exercises  of  her  dying  hours. 

Alexander  on  the  Canon.  No.  300. 

The  Canon  of  the  Old  and  New  Testament  ascertained ; 
or  the  Bible  complete  without  the  Apocrypha  and  unwrit- 
•   ten  Traditions.    By  Archibald  Alexander,  D.D.     A 
new  edition  revised  for  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Publi- 
cation.    12mo.  [Min.  Lib.) 

Every  intelligent  Christian  should  desire  to  know  the  rational  grounds 
on  which  the  Canon  of  Scripture  is  made  up,  though  we  are  persuaded 
that  few  comparatively  have  any  idea  of  the  principles  involved  in 
the  question.  Every  necessary  facility  is  furnished  by  this  lucid  and 
satisfactory  exposition  of  the  subject,  which  has  been  so  long  and 
most  favourably  known,  both  in  Europe  and  America.

i66  CATALOGUE    OF   THE 

This  is  a  capital  little  book,  full  of  the  marrow  of  the  gospel,  which  is 
presented  in  a  simple,  clear,  and  aflfectionate  manner,  well  adapted  to 
win  the  attention  and  the  hearts  of  the  children,  for  whose  benefit  it 
was  jrritten. 

Sermons  to  Young  Children.  no.  sos. 

Sermons  to  Young  Children.  32mo.   ( S,  S.  Lib. ) 

We  have  here  a  neat  little  volume  of  ten  sermons,  averaging  less  than 
eight  small  pages  each.  The  style  is  sufficiently  simple  to  suit  the 
comprehension  of  young  children,  and  at  the  same  time  is  free  from 
the  "baby-talk"  so  often  resorted  to  by  those  who  attempt  to  make 
such  books,  and  which  is  just  as  offensive  to  sensible  children  as  to 
sensible  older  persons. 

Days  of  Adversity.  no.  304. 

Considerations  for  Days  of  Adversity.     32mo.    ( Cong. 
Lib.) 
The  author  of  this  excellent  little  book  has  well  fulfilled  the  precept, 
"  Remember  them  that  are  in   adversity."     These  "Considerations" 
will  be  found  seasonable,  and  highly  consolatory  to  afflicted  souls. 

Kirwan's  Letters.  no.  305. 

Letters  to  the  Right  Rev.  John  Hughes,  Ronjan 
Catholic  Bishop  of  New  York,  by  "KmwAN."  18mo. 
Three  parts  in  one.     ( Cong.  Lib. ) 

These  letters  have  been  translated  into  French,  Spanish,  Italian, 
German  and  Tamul ;  and  are  perhaps  doing  as  much  service  as  any 
other  similar  instrumentality  in  preparing  the  way  for  the  spread  of 
Protestantism.  Few  works  on  this  great  controversy  are  better 
adapted  for  popular  effect  than  these  terse,  Junius-like  letters  of 
"  Kirwan."  The  author  is  the  late  and  lamented  Rev.  Nicholas  Mur- 
ray, D.D.

timate associate  of  the  distinguished  missionary.  Dr.  Alexander  Duff, 
who  has  revised  the  work ;  and  written  an  introductory  essay  on  the 
life  and  character  of  his  friend.

remarks  the  author  spiritualizes  the  passage,  and  having  made  this 
city  stand  for  the  heavenly  Jerusalem,  he  first  shows  that  there  are 
children  in  heaven ;  and  then,  that  all  the  children  in  heaven  are 
happy  ;  and  then,  how  many  children  get  to  that  happy  city.  It  is, 
in  every  respect,  an  excellent  address.  All,  young  and  old,  may  read

in  the  formation  of  those  Coral  Islands  which  seem  to  be  the  begin- 
ning of  a  new  continent;  of  man  in  his  most  degrading  forms  of  ex- 
istence ;  and  of  the  transforming  and  elevating  power  of  the  gospel, 
as  well  as  of  the  devoted  fidelity  and  self-denial  of  the  missionaries 
of  the  cross.  No  one  can  read  them  without  finding  his  interest  in  the 
work  of  missions  increased,  or  without  becoming  more  hopeful  in  re- 
gard to  the  future  and  rapid  progress  of  the  gospel.

a  consecration  of  himself  to  God's  service.  The  value  of  the  book  is  in-

all  a  part  of  the  actual  experiences  of  the  writer.

This  is  an  old  and  precious  work  in  a  new  and  inviting  dress — a 
work  which  led  the  excellent  William  Romaine  to  say,  in  an 
address  to  the  reader  in  regard  to  it :  ''  I  have  found  a  sweet  savour 
of  Jesus's  precious  name,  free  grace,  and  perfect  salvation  in  these

These  are  very  interesting  and  instructive  sketches  of  the  lives  of  an 
Italian  bishop  and  a  Scotch  monk,  during  the  time  of  the  Reforma-

These  sketches  are  principally  taken  from  McCrie's  History  of  the

variety  of  illustration  and  adaptation.  In  this  little  volume  the  na- 
ture of  faith  as  such,  then  the  nature  and  fruits  of  faith  in  God  and 
his  word,  are  exhibited  with  a  freshness  and  aptness  of  illustration, 
and  with  a  neatness  and  force  of  style,  which  fully  justify  the  Synod

This  is  a  striking  narrative  of  one  who  lived  only  twenty-four  years  on 
earth,  yet  attained  to  a  singularly  exalted  piety,  and  departed  in 
triumph  to  his  heavenly  home.  It  will  afford  a  rich  treat  to  all  whose 
taste  can  relish  the  examples  of  God's  eminent  saints,  and  the  records 
of  their  spiritual  exercises.

This  is  a  gem  of  a  book,  highly  suggestive,  and  admirably  fitted  in  its 
exterior  for  the  pocket  or  the  work-basket,  and  in  its  contents,  for  the 
understanding  and  the  heart.  Many  of  these  thoughts  are  from 
more  modern  authors  than  Henry.

This  is  a  book  for  those  whose  friends,  though  once  on  earth,  have  now 
"  passed  into  the  heavens."  The  subject  of  which  it  treats  must  ever 
prove  interesting,  so  long  as  death  continues  to  desolate  our  hearts 
and  homes.  The  author  has  constructed  a  scriptural  argument  on  the 
subject  which  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired  by  those  who  are  satisfied 
with  a  "  Thus  saith  the  Lord."

This  book  contains  a  sermon  preached  before  the  General  Assembly  of

forth  the  tendencies  of  the  system  of  doctrine  and  polity  taught  in  the 
Confession  of  Faith.  This  he  has  done  in  seven  particulars,  which  he 
has  illustrated  and  enforced  in  a  manner  clear,  forcible,  and  conclusive. 
As  a  beautiful  and  eloquent  exhibition  of  the  excellent  fruits  of  Cal-

of  one  of  the  first  families  of  London,  who,  possessing  a  complete  edu- 
cation, great  personal  and  mental  attractions,  and  receiving  the 
homage  of  the  fashionable  world,  found  herself  still  unhappy.  By  the 
faithful  instructions  addressed  to  her  by  a  Christian  friend,  and  which

Refuge,"  and  secured  peace  and  joy  in  believing  on  Jesus.  The  book

Sound,  lively,  faithful,  earnest,  and  affectionate,  M.  Daill6  was  emi- 
nently fitted  to  be  the  expositor  of  the  Pauline  epistles.  There  is, 
in  these  two  works,  a  rich  vein  of  the  purest  evangelical  doctrine,  exhib- 
ited with  all  the  fervour  of  eloquence  which  was  so  prominent  a 
characteristic  of  the  author.  We  see  in  them  the  most  decided  Calvin- 
istic  doctrines  in  union — as  they  are  ever  found  when  received  by  a  true 
faith — with  the  highest  morality.  Their  definitions  of  terms  are  clear, 
their  reasonings  close,  their  defence  of  the  truth  strong,  and  their  unc-

This  little  volume  contains  an  account  of  four  pious  children  who  loved 
the  Saviour,  and  found  him   a  very  present  help  in  time  of  trou- 
ble.    It  is  written  in  a  simple,  engaging  style,  and  is  not  a  book  to 
make   one   sad,  but  rather  sheds  a  cheerful  light  on  a  subject  not 
naturally  attractive.

{S.  S.  Lib.) 

This  hook  is  a  series  of  familiar  conversations  between  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
James  and  their  children,  on  subjects  of  the  highest  importance,  in-

the  Lord,  and  "the  best  time  to  learn  it"  is  childhood.  The  form 
into  which  it  is  cast,  avoids  that  dry,  didactic  method,  which  rather 
repels  than  attracts  children.  It  is  from  the  pen  of  an  eminent  clergy- 
man who  takes  a  deep  interest  in  the  preparation  of  young  men  for 
the  gospel  ministry.

Part  11.  An  Exposition  of  the  Ten  Commandments.  By 
Edward  Fisher,  A.  M.  With  Notes,  by  the  Rev. 
Thomas  Boston,  Minister  of  the  Gospel,  Ettrick.  12mo. 

[Mtn.  Lib.) 

Few  doctrinal  or  practical  works  have  lasted  longer,  or  exerted  a  wider 
influence,  than  the  Marrow  of  Modern  Divinity.  Written  originally 
in  the  age  of  Cromwell,  to  compose  the  strifes  which  had  arisen  among 
the  friends  of  evangelical  religion,  to  counteract  the  tendency  to  An- 
tinomianism  which  then  prevailed,  while  it  clearly  presented  the 
doctrine  of  gratuitous  justification,  it  was  itself  condemned  as  Anti- 
nomian  by  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Church  of  Scotland  in  the  early 
part  of  the  last  century,  when  that  church  was  under  the  control  of 
the  Moderates.  Though  designed  and  specially  adapted  to  a  diflFer- 
ent  state  of  the  church  from  that  which  now  exists,  it  retains  its 
value  as  a  concise  exposition  of  the  great  truths  of  the  gospel.  The 
notes  of  Boston  are  an  invaluable  addition  to  it. 

The  Stephenson  Family.  no.  486.

These  are  familiar  fireside  conversations  on  a  very  important  and  in- 
teresting portion  of  divine  truth.  Did  parents  more  generally  thus 
fulfil  the  divine  injunction,  "  Thou  shalt  talk  of  these  words  when 
thou  sittest  in  thine  house,"  how  much  more  frequent  would  be  the 
instances  of  intelligent  piety  among  the  children  of  Christian  house- 
holds!

lighten and  excite  pious  emotions  in  the  reader.  The  theme  is  in 
itself  deeply  interesting,  and  it  is  handled  ii^  a  clear  and  convincing 
manner.     It  will  be  found  well  worthy  of  perusal.

Not  a  Minute  to  Spare.     By  S.  C.  18mo.   {Cong.  Lib.) 

This  is  a  very  simple  but  useful  collection  of  thoughts  and  incidents, 
showing  how  we  may  and  ought  to  have  many  minutes  to  spare  to 
attend  to  the  interests  of  our  own  souls,  and  to  work  for  Jesus.  We 
commend  it  to  those  who  are  so  absorbed  in  worldly  things,  or  so 
wrapped  up  in  their  own  selfishness,  that  they  rob  God,  their  fellow- 
men,  and  their  own  souls,  and  have  neither  time  nor  inclination  to 
subserve  the  great  end  of  their  being.

his  life  of  prayer.  It  is  suited  to  the  capacity  of  very  young  chil- 
dren.

by  a  pastor  who  has  felt  the  need  of  such  a  little  tract  to  put  into 
the  hands  of  inquiring  souls.  If  pastors,  and  laymen  too,  would  dis- 
tribute this  tract  widely,  it  could  not  fail,  by  the  blessing  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  to  lead  many  precious  souls  to  the  possession  of  peace  in  Jesus 
Christ.

Ye  will  not  come.  No.  508. 

Ye  will  not  come ;  or  the  Sinner  without  excuse. 
Written  for  the  Board,  by  a  Disabled  Minister  of  Bethel, 
]8mo.     {Cong.  Lib.) 

As  the  title  indicates,  this  is  an  attempt  to  reach  by  the  press  those 
whom  the  author  can  no  longer  address  from  the  pulpit,  and  to  con- 
vince delaying  sinners  that  if  they  do  not  come  to  Christ,  the  fault  is 
their  own.     It  is  an  earnest,  and  pungent,  but  aflFectionate  appeal. 

Calvin's  Letters.  no.  509. 

Letters  of  John  Calvin ;  Compiled  from  the  Original 
Manuscripts,  and  Edited  with  Historical  Notes.  By  Dr. 
Jules  Bonnet.  Translated  from  the  original  Latin  and 
French.     8vo.  4  vols.    {3Iin.  Lib. ) 

Dr.  Bonnet  explored  the  great  libraries  and  other  archives  of  Europe 
with  untiring  zeal  and  labour,  and  succeeded  in  collecting  a  large  and 
extremely  interesting  part  of  the  correspondence  of  the  great  Genevan 
Keformer.  Two  volumes  of  this  correspondence  were  issued  in  Edin- 
burgh, after  which  the  undertaking  was  abandoned.  Aided  by  a 
munificent  gentleman  in  New  York,  the  Board  completed  the  work. 
The  correspondence  is  rich  and  varied,  and  will  be  a  source  of  delight 
to  all  who  are  interested  in  the  history  of  the  great  Reformation.  It 
also  throws  much  light  upon  the  character  and  life  of  Calvin  him- 
self. We  know  of  no  better  method  of  getting  at  the  inner  life  of 
a  man,  than  through  his  private  correspondence  with  his  bosom  friends. 
Calvin  appears  nowhere  to  greater  advantage  than  in  his  familiar  cor- 
respondence. The  fourth  volume  contains  a  copious  index,  which 
adds  greatly  to  the  value  of  the  work.

220  .  CATALOGUE   OF   THE 

The  peculiarly  interesting  and  solemn  nature  of  the  occurrences  which 
are  here  illustrated  and  unfolded,  gives  to  this  work  a  special  attrac- 
tion for  Christians.  So  familiar  are  all  readers  of  the  Scriptures  with 
the  events  which  occurred  during  the  forty  days  between  the  resurrec-

"It  relates  the  cruel  deeds  of  Grahame  of  Claverhouse,  and  the 
brutal  murder  of  Andrew  Murray  by  Sir  James  Jordan  of  Con- 
heath,  and  similar  events.  Familiar  as  the  story  is,  we  have  perused 
it  with  a  throbbing  heart,  and,  we  are  not  ashamed  to  say,  with 
a  wet  cheek,  while  all  our  sympathies  were  enlisted  in  behalf  of 
God's  persecuted  children,  and  every  principle  of  right  and  justice  in 
our  nature  was  aroused  to  call  for  vengeance  upon  the  heads  of  their 
'^ruel  persecutors."

condition  of  those  who  are  destitute  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  brought  a 
six2Jenee  as  literally  all  she  had,  to  give  to  an  agent  of  the  Bible  So- 
ciety. She  accompanied  her  gift  with  her  prayers.  That  humble 
gift  was  directed  in  the  providence  of  God  to  the  purchase  of  a  copy 
of  the  New  Testament.  That  Testament  fell  into  the  hands  of  a  young 
man — was  the  means  of  his  conversion,  his  entrance  into  the  ministry, 
and  the  devotion  of  his  life  to  a  missionary's  labours  among  the  heathen. 
This  is  the  story  of  the  book  before  us — touchingly  told,  and  suggest- 
ive of  good.

doctrinal  instruction.  The  style  is  clear  and  forcible;  the  doctrines 
are  the  doctrines  of  our  standards,  and  its  whole  tendency  is  to  pro- 
mote knowledge  and  practical  religion.

Strange  that  such  a  question  should  ever  be  asked  by  any  one  who

into  the  path  of  peace,  is  the  object  of  this  valuable  volume.

read  with  affectionate  and  lively  interest,  and  the  good  to  be  done  by

Fountain."  By  the  Rev.  James  Wood,  D.D.  ISmo. 
(.S^.  S.  Lib.) 

In  "  The  Gospel  Fountain,"  Dr.  Wood  treated  the  doctrines  of  the  atone- 
ment, justification,  divine  agency  in  regeneration  and  sanctification, 
in  a  style  adapted  to  arrest  the  attention  of  the  young.  In  this  volume 
repentance,  grace  abounding,  adoption,  predestination  and  kindred 
topics  are  discussed  in  the  same  method  in  a  familiar  conversation 
between  a  father  and  his  son.  They  are  both  worthy  of  a  wide  cir- 
culation.

D.D.,  Professor  in  Union  Theological  Seminary,  Virginia. 
A  Prize  Essay.     12mo.     ( Conff.  Lib. ) 

The  greatness  and  importance  of  the  topics  discussed  in  this  volume  can 
hardly  be  adequately  estimated.  The  duties  connected  with  the  family 
relations  lie  at  the  foundation  of  all  other  duties  existing  between  man 
and  his  fellow-men.  As  they  are  esteemed  and  performed,  so  will  society, 
civil  government,  and  the  church  be  pure,  efficient,  and  beneficent. 
The  writer  of  this  Essay  is  a  clear  and  vigorous  thinker,  and  has 
treated  his  great  subject  with  extraordinary  judgment,  vigour  and 
freshness.

A  Prize  Essay.     12mo.     [Cong.  Lib.) 

The  method  of  this  work  diflfers  largely  from  thntof  Dr.  Smith,  last  de- 
scribed, while  yet  the  same  great  principles  are  urged  in  a  strong  and 
vigorous  manner.  The  reading  of  the  one  will  not  diminish,  but 
rather  increase  the  interest  with  which  the  other  may  be  read.  We 
commend  them  both  very  earnestly,  to  all  heads  of  families  es- 
pecially, and  ask  for  them  an  extensive  circulation  in  every  portion

This  neat  little  volume  is  evidently  the  fruit  of  careful  study,  and  no  in- 
considerable general  learning.  The  discussion  is  conducted  in  a  clear, 
interesting,  and  instructive  manner.  It  is  full  of  precious  truth, 
and  cannot  fail  to  benefit  both  the  mind  and  heart  of  every  prayerful

The  story  of  a  young  lady  who,  on  being  left  alone  by  the  death  of  her 
parents,  was  almost  disposed  to  complain  that  she  too  had  not  been 
taken.  Her  various  and  successful  labours  as  a  loving  Sabbath-school

father,  and  finally  the  whole  family  were  brought  into  the  church, 
through  the  instrumentality  of  a  faithful  Sabbath-school  teacher :  how 
from  drunkenness,  dirt,  and  degradation,  they  were  elevated  to  sobriety, 
cleanliness,  and  respectability.  It  exhibits  in  a  perfectly  natural  way 
the  benefits  and  blessings  flowing  to  ungodly  families  from  attendance

Testament.  By  J.  Montague  Randall,  Vicar  of  Lang- 
ham,  Suffolk.     12mo.     {Cong.  Lib.) 

This  work  derives  additional  interest  from  a  statement  in  the  preface, 
that,  nearly  blind,  the  author  has  been  unable  to  consult  many  books 
which  would  have  afforded  him  important  assistance.  The  whole  was 
written  in  pencil,  with  the  aid  of  an  instrument  used  to  guide  the 
hand  in  writing.  Perhaps  this  seeming  loss  has  added  much  to  the 
real  value  of  the  book.  It  is  full  of  Jesus  from  beginning  to  end,  and 
speaks  of  him  in  that  tender,  loving,  trustful  tone,  which  shows  that 
the  Redeemer  was  a  living  reality  to  the  author's  mind.

pened in  the  life  of  an  English  blacksmith,  the  awful  consequences  of 
indulgence  in  habits  of  intemperance.  The  facts  teach  that  char- 
acter, like  iron,  hardens  under  the  furnace,  if  the  right  use  is  not 
made  of  God's  dealings  with  the  soul.

12mo.     {Cong.  Lib.) 

This  "  Second  Series"  is  fully  equal  to  the  first.  The  volume  contains 
fifteen  sermons.  An  improvement,  and  a  valuable  one,  in  this  series 
is,  that  each  sermon  is  accompanied  by  two  selected  hymns,  suitable 
to  be  sung  in  connection  with  its  reading.  The  preface  contains 
eight  or  ten  pages  of.  valuable  hints  respecting  the  religious  in-

improve  the  mind  and  heart.  When  once  begun,  no  young  reader 
will  be  willing  to  lay  it  down  until  it  is  finished.

Although  Mr.  Mitchell  says  in  his  preface  that  he  "  makes  no  preten-

placed  some  very  valuable  truths  in  new  and  clear  lights.  It  com- 
prehends seven  chapters,  the  contents  of  which  are  as  follows :  1,  The

cess, the  persecution,  and  the  death  of  this  noble  man,  cannot  be  read 
without  emotion.  The  facts  are  drawn  from  records  left  by  himself,

had  the  author's  revision.  The  paper,  print,  and  binding  are  as  at- 
tractive to  the  eye  as  the  contents  are  to  the  heart  of  the  believer. 
Never  was  a  work  written  on  a  controverted  subject  with  less  of  the 
spirit  of  controversy.  It  is  addressed  to  the  heart  quite  as  much  as 
to  the  understanding.  It  exhibits  the  evidence  of  the  Godhead  of 
our  Lord  in  its  connection  with  the  religious  experience  of  his  people,

This  is  a  work  of  more  than  ordinary  interest.  It  exhibits  a  deep  in- 
sight into  the  workings  of  the  human  heart,  under  the  culture  of

the  Dreamer's  narrative  is  preserved,  others  of  less  striking  character 
are  thrown  into  the  back  ground.  The  quaint,  simple  language  of 
the  incomparable  Bunyan  is  for  the  most  part  retained.

New  Orleans,  in  May,  1858,  and  never  before  published,  is  of  itself 
worth  the  price  of  the  volume.

tian character  amid  the  jeers  of  her  school-mates.  Her  subsequent

Life  and  Sermons  of  W.  Neill,  D.D.  No.  6S5. 

Autobiography  of  the  Rev.  William  Neill,  D.D. ,  with  a 
Selection  of  his  Sermons.  By  the  Rev.  Joseph  H.  Jones, 
D.D.,  pastor  of  the  Sixth  Presbyterian  Church,  Philadel- 
phia.    With  a  portrait.     12mo.     {Cong.  Lib.) 

This  volume  will  be  found  exceedingly  readable.  Dr.  Neill  lived  to  a 
good  old  age.  In  the  course  of  his  life  he  mingled  among  men  of 
note  and  influence  in  church  and  state,  and  his  recollections  were 
clear  and  vivid.  His  autobiography  will,  on  these  accounts,  interest 
very  many  readers.  The  sermons  contained  in  the  volume  are  plain, 
direct,  and  eminently  evangelical.  The  commemorative  discourse  by 
Dr.  Jones  is  a  neat  and  beautiful  tribute  to  the  memory  of  a  good  man, 
and  a  faithful  minister  of  the  gospel.  The  portrait  by  Sartain  is  an 
admirable  likeness.

This  is  the  story  of  a  little  boy,  who,  when  quite  young,  lost  his  father, 
who  had  been  careful  to  instil  into  his  mind  correct  principles.  He 
had  to  struggle  hard  with  want,  but  no  temptation  could  induce  him 
to  do  Avrong.  The  incidents  are  of  just  the  kind  that  are  all  the  while 
occun'ing  in  a  large  city;     A  capital  book  for  young  boys.

for  the  Board  of  Publication.     By  Sarah  A.  Myers. 
12mo.      {Cong.  Lib.) 
No  reader  who  opens  this  volume  will  be  ready  to  lay  it  down  without 
first  giving  it  a  thorough  perusal.     It  is  well  entitled  "  Self-Sacrifice," 
for  it  contains  a  record  of  brave  adventure  and  self-denial  rarely 
equalled,  even  in  the  history  of  Christian  missions.     Every  pious  heart 
will  glow  with  admiration  and  sympathy  while  the  eye  traces  on  these 
pages  the  story  of  Christian  zeal  and  daring,  exhibiting  itself  in  wild 
and  inhospitable  Patagonia  and  the  islands  adjacent.     We  hope  the 
j  book  will  have  a  wide  circulation.     It  cannot  fail  to  develope  and  in- 

j  crease  a  missionary  enthusiasm  in  the  bosom  of  every  pious  reader. 

It  has  the  fascination  not  of  a  fictitious  tale,  but  of  that  truth  which  is 
stranger  than  fiction.

This  little  volume  will  not  fail  to  interest  the  "  Little  Folks,"  for  whom 
it  was  written.  It  is  strange  how  many  wonderful  things  can  be  told 
about  the  Bible,  and  how  inexhaustible  is  the  variety  of  wonderful

AuntFanny's  Home,  and  her  Talkfe  about Grod's  Works. 
By  the  Rev.  Wm.  E.  Schenck,  D.D.  18mo.  {S.  S.  Uh.) 

This  book  is  beautifully  gotten  up,  with  numerous  pictorial  illustra- 
tions. "It  is  a  work  far  above  the  usual  style  of  Sabbath-school 
books.  Aunt  Fanny  was  a  maiden  lady  of  wealth  and  refinement, 
who  received  into  her  home  three  orj^han  nephews,  and  superin- 
tended their  education.  The  book  contains  some  of  the  conversations 
between  Aunt  Fanny  and  these  boj^s,  about  various  natural  objects, 
such  as  snow,  water,  fire,  air,  light,  and  colour.  The  most  curious  and 
striking  phenomena  of  these  natural  objects  are  dwelt  upon  and  ex- 

*  plained  in  a  manner  that  is  very  clear  and  entertaining,  and  the  whole 
,  is  made  with  great  skill  to  throw  light  upon  the  pages  of  Holy  Scrip- 
ture. The  style  is  easy  and  simple,  and  in  every  way  suited  to  the 
subject.  Parents  and  teachers  may  gather  important  hints  from  this 
little  volume  as  to  the  best  method  of  combining  the  study  of  com- 
mon things  with  religious  teaching,  also  as  to  the  best  way  of  culti- 
vating in  the  young  that  habit  of  observation  which  is  a  most  im- 
portant part  of  their  education.  It  is  seldom  we  have  seen  the  beauti- 
ful phenomena  of  common  objects  set  forth  with  such  clearness  and 
ease,  as  in  the  pages  of  'Aunt  Fanny's  Home,'  and  we  do  not  recol- 
lect ever  to  have  seen  these  teachings  of  nature  linked  to  the  teach- 
ings of  Revelation  more  happily  than  here." — S.  S.  Times.

stewardship  is  stated,  proved,  explained,  and  enforced  in  a  way  which 
cannot  fail  to  deepen  the  sense  of  obligation  to  God  wherever  read. 
We  trust  it  may  be  extensively  useful.

PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  273 

The  five  gifts  are  in  the  possession  of  almost  every  boy  and  girl.  They 
are  of  countless  value.  A  learned  author  calls  them  "  the  five  gate- 
ways of  knowledge."  And  yet  multitudes,  young  and  old,  never 
think  of  thanking  God  for  them.  These  gifts  are  the  five  senses ; 
seeing,  hearing,  tasting,  smelling,  and  feeling.  This  book  consists 
of  several  conversations  between  a  father  and  his  daughter,  showing 
the  goodness  of  God  in  these  gifts.

tate. **My  dog  Rover"  did  not  live  in  vain,  and  he  will  long  show

prehensiveness, and  inimitable  beauty  and  wisdom.  We  heartily  com- 
mend the  book  as  exceedingly  opportune,  and  bespeak  for  it  a  wide

Bob  Walker's  bad  habit  led  him  into  many  difficulties,  and  caused  him 
much  trouble  and  mortification,  as  it  will  every  boy  that  indulges  it. 
He  finally  overcame  it,  and  his  experience  will  doubtless  be  of  use  to 
those  who  desire  a  similar  victory,  while  it  gives  a  timely  warning  to 
those  who  waste  their  morning  hours  in  slothfulness.

thy  neighbour."  The  tongue  is  a  little  member,  but  it  wields  an  im- 
mense power,  either  for  good  or  for  evil.  The  history  of  Gertrude 
Davenport,  in  this  volume,  will  be  a  warning  to  all  readers,  to  "  take 
heed  that  they  sin  not  with  their  tongue."

Our  youthful  readers  are  under  great  obligations  to  Dr.  Breed  for 
the  delightful  and  instructive  books'  he  has  written  for  them,  and 
this  little  volume  increases  the  obligation.  Mount  Zion,  or  true  re- 
ligion, is  the  sunny  mount;  and  its  peaks  are  Tabor,  Carmel,  and 
Pisgah.  Under  this  figure  the  pleasures  and  duties  of  religion  are

Whoever  tries  to  walk  through  life,  trusting  in  himself,  will  be  sure  to 
fall,  as  Dick  Mason  did.  We  hope  that  every  boy  who  reads  this 
book  will  learn  that  he  needs  Christ  as  his  strength,  and  the  Bible 
as  his  guide.

laughed  at.     By  Nellie  Grahame.  18mo.  [S.  S.  Lib.)

through  fear  of  the  ridicule  of  her  associates.  But  she  finally  con- 
quered her  besetting  sin,  because  she  trusted  in  God,  and  he  became 
her  strength  and  her  salvation.

She  suffered  much  from  bodily  affliction,  and  painful  infirmities;  but 
they  were  all  sanctified  by  the  grace  of  God.  Her  quiet  submission

where  to  find  rest  and  peace.

fer invaluable  aid ;  and  we  trust  the  day  is  not  distant,  when  they

Dr.  Addison  Alexander  was  characterized  by  one  who  knew  him  inti- 
mately during  his  entire  life,  (the  Rev.  Dr.  Hodge,)  as  "incompara- 
bly the  greatest  man  our  church  has  ever  produced.  His  intellect 
was  majestic  not  only  in  its  greatness,  but  in  its  harmonious  propor- 
tions. No  faculty  was  in  excess,  and  none  was  in  defect.  His  under- 
standing, imagination,  and  memory  were  alike  wonderful.    His  attain-

ments  in  classical,  oriental,  and  modern  langnges  and  literature,  were 
almost  unexampled.  His  stores  of  biblical,  historical,  and  antiquarian 
knowledge  seemed  inexhaustible.  To  all  these  talents  and  attain- 
ments were  added  great  force  of  character,  power  over  the  minds  of 
men,  and  a  peculiar  facility  in  imparting  knowledge.  His  thorough 
orthodoxy,  his  fervent  piety,  humility,  faithfulness  in  discharge  of 
his  duties,  and  reverence  for  the  word  of  God,  consecrated  all  his 
other  gifts." 
This  is  certainly  a  high  and  Tfell-merited  eulogium.  All  these  wonder- 
ful powers  were  brought  to  the  preparation  of  his  commentaries,  and 
it  is  no  wonder  that  they  have  taken  the  highest  rank  in  the  estima- 
tion of  biblical  scholars.  They  will  remain  as  an  enduring  monument 
of  his  learning,  his  genius,  and  his  piety,  as  long  as  the  English  lan- 
guage continues  to  be  spoken.  They  have  now  taken  their  place 
among  the  publications  of  the  Board.

most  approved  helps  in  biblical  interpretation.  Learned,  critical, 
and  devout,  they  pre^nt  the  simple  meaning  of  the  inspired  author 
in  a  manner  clear,  concise,  and  eminently  suggestive.  On  every  page 
they  bear  the  impress  of  the  author's  mind,  and  gather  the  ripened 
fruits  of  his  profound  and  varied  erudition.  Through  them  he  will 
continue  to  guide  and  instruct  the  successive  generations  of  our  min- 
isters, when  his  voice — distant  be  the  day — is  heard  no  more  in  the 
school  of  the  prophets  with  which  for  nearly  half  a  century  he  has 
been  identified,  and  of  which  he  is  still  so  bright  an  ornament.

on  the  Four  Gospels.  By  the  Rev.  David  Brown,D.D.

This  valuable  commentary  is  from  the  pen  of  an  eminent  divine  of 
Scotland,  and  on  its  appearance  in  that  country  received  warm  ac- 
knowledgments of  its  great  merit  from  all  the  leading  minds  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  there.  It  evinces  enlarged  and  thorough  biblical 
scholarship,  and  throws  many  new  rays  of  light  on  the  Gospels.  Not 
only  clergymen,  but  all  intelligent  students  of  Scripture,  will  find  in 
it  an  invaluable  aid.

There  is  little  difference  of  opinion  as  to  the  worth  of  this  elaborate 
Concordance.  Since  its  first  appearance  in  1737,  it  has  stood  above 
all  competition,  and  no  Christian  library  can  be  considered  complete

attractive.

This  book  supplies  an  acknowledged  public  want,  as  a  syllabus  of  theo- 
logical study  for  the  use  of  students.  It  also  furnishes  to  young 
ministers  a  repertory  of  digested  material  for  the  doctrinal  instruction 
of  their  people,  either  in  Bible-classes  or  by  means  of  a  congrega- 
tional lecture.  It  is  orthodox,  clear,  precise,  and  comprehensive. 
While  it  will  not  satisfy  the  thorough  student,  by  elaborate  and  ex- 
haustive discussions,  it  will  be  found  eminently  suggestive,  and  a 
convenient  digest  of  religious  truth.

comparative  advantages  of  Presbyterianism ;  and  shows  most  conclu-

pressed for  their  publication,  they  were  revised  and  enlarged,  and

tency ;  by  the  Rev.  S.  Gr.  Winchester. 

This  tract  clearly  shows  that  the  sinner's  choice  to  remain  in  his  sins  is 
determined  not  by  a  sense  of  his  inability  to  forsake  them,  but  by  his 
unioillingnesa  to  do  so  j  and  that  his  impenitency  is  therefore  inex- 
cusable.

A  Presbyterian  pastor  here  discusses  with  a  parishioner,  the  distinctive 
features  of  our  Old  School  theology,  and  cautions  him  against  the  op- 
posite errors  of  the  New.  The  tract  was  first  published  at  an  im-

vice in  the  cause  of  truth,  and  we  trust  it  will  long  continue  so  to  do.

PRESBYTERIAN    BOARD    OF    PUBLICATION.  407 

A  most  excellent  tract  on  a  most  important  subject.  An  entire  con- 
gregation, standing  reverently  whilst  their  prayers  are  going  up  to 
the  throne  above,  is  a  spectacle  most  appropriate  and  impressive; 
and  we  cannot  perceive  why  persons  who  can  be  upon  their  feet  hours 
at  a  time  elsewhere,  cannot  stand  up  ten  minutes  in  the  house  of  God. 
If  ministers  have  aided  in  the  formation  of  this  bad  habit  by  prayers
